Flood times

just wondering what flood timing you guys are using for suspended net pots/rockwool cubes?

Depends on alot of factors

Well I’m talking the first couple of weeks after seed pops and I’m just asking what everyone does not really why. It was more a general question.

I run 2-3 floods like 7mins or so a flood

With clay, every 2 hours for 5 mins during lights on, once during lights off. Its an oversized pump though...

temperature plays major role for me. up to once every 2 hours if its hot for 8mins, one flood when lights off. down to a flood every 4 hours 3x when lights on if it is cold.

I suspend net pots in a covered tray and it’s become a balancing act between to much water and the root chamber temps climbing between floods. My ambient temps are 75 and water temp is kept at 66. As soon as the roots are developed I find it really doesn’t matter re continuos or cycled but before roots are developed I have issues with the little guys just hanging in the air drying out, while the net pot is still soaked.

I do suspended net pots in a covered tray for my sog runs. For those i use no medium and 15 on 45 off for the flood intervals. Need a good spray of roots from the cloner first so they dont dry out as u mentioned.

I dont worry about temps i just dose with h2o2. Details in My Op link under my sig if u wanna check it out.

I’ll have a look, honestly I’ve had shit luck with H2O2 , I do have a 5 gallon pail of 35% though .
