Usually 1 time per day for about 5mn, or until i hear it start draining off. The gg4 i have in the room have been getting fed 2x per day just because they have been light by 4 oclock. I feed at light on and when needed right before lights off to get them thru the night.

Sturgeon,

I'm getting sick of hydroton. Thinking about switching to rockwool in my ebb buckets. How often do you flood?

And are you using a quick drain block or the Hugos? The Hugos hold a gallon of water, more than I expected...

What do you recommend. Right now I veg on a 3x3 in 1gal pots and then transfer those over to my ebb buckets which I suspend the 1gal inside the bigger bucket with a piece of styrofoam on top so it acts as a suspended pot

I think of you were to use just loose rockwool youd be ok in the buckets. Ive ran buckets with loose before and it was similar to to running a table imo. Only thing about running cubes on a table is when the roots come out of the bottom of the cube they mat up on the bottom so if you were to go from table to bucket, id transplant before you habe a lot of rootmass under the cube so theu grow into the bucket medium as well.

The thing with the suspended buckets is the roots are going to hang down and fill up the bucket anyways. On the veg table, they start coming out the bottom and when they get a little long is when it's time to pop them into the buckets for flower.
