hydro watering schedules

[sdwgoblue]

i am looking at different watering schedules for hydro grows. anyone have any input on what they are doing or have done in the past? I personally have well rooted clones, widow and diesel strains and a plant count of 6. currently i am using a ebb and flow system under fluorescent lights for the veg and feeding 3x daily. lighting schdl. is 18 on 6 off and watering 30mins after lights come on, again after 6 hrs with lights on and again at the 15 hr mark. things seem to be going well. plants look healthy and growing well. what is working or worked well for others?
thank you for the input.

I water mine every 6 hours i run the pump for 15 minuites and the plants dont seem to have any objections.

im feeding mine every 4 hours for half an hour... is this to much. current count 12plants under 600hps 24hrs light. plants are 2 weeks old

I think it depends on your medium. I had 5 plants under 24 hr light and only had to feed them once a day with rockwool. I'd imagine other mediums that don't retain water as much would need more watering so you'd have to adjust according to how the plants are looking.

you water once a day? for how long?

That was during vegging and about a week into flowering. I watered for 15 minutes and now am watering twice a day for 15 minutes each time.

I use the 6" x 6" rockwool blocks and I water once a day for 15 minutes. i do this for the whole Veg time also. I have six ladies in a 2 x 4 tray.
