Ok so I just did a DIY Aeroponics setup. My question is simple.. Should I run the pump all the time during the light on cycle? Or should i run it at intervals? I appreciate any help, thanks..

Yes all the time or the roots will dry out and the plants will die. You can also run on/off intervals but it depends on what type of aero set-up you have.

I have 3 inch net pots with hydroton in a storage tote.. A pump in the bottom with 1/2 inch PVC into a "Tee" with a mister at each end.. I wish I could put a picture up for you..

I know what you are talking about, you have an air stone too? You have a hybrid aero/DWC set up you can run the pump 15 min on and 15 min off to help keep the temps in your nutrient solution down.

I have no air stone, but i can put one in easily enough.. I only have 5 gallons in the container, (just enough to submerge the pump).
