i got 1ft plants in 4x4 cube flowering and they only need to be watered every 24 hr, i turn it on for 15 min. depending on the gph pump you have turn on the pump time it when it finish flooding then give it another 2 min to soak up everything and turn it off and you have your time to flood.

Watering schedule depends on the medium you are using. If yo are using rockwool once a day is all that is needed. If your using something else, like clay pellets it will be different. What are you growing in?? VV

i should really get a camera. well i set up 2 rooms (growing/flowering) my veg room is modeled after mr green's veg room in I Grow Chronic. my flower room is 2 dwc 14 gallon each with 2 holes in each. 400w hps. since its dwc i have to grow my clones in 1 inch cubes then put them into net pots with hydrotons with a dripper over them. once they are strong enough and ready, they go into the dwc.

so if im dripping into a net pot with hydrotons and 1 inch rock wool cube in there.. i only need to water once a day?

seedlings i would say once a day. i have a modular pot ebb and flow system with 4th week flowering plants and i water mine 7 times a day for 15 minutes each.(8/10/12/2/4/6/8) im using hydroton also thats why i water so much. i started in 1 inch rockwools and now all the rockwool is gone. just check to see if the rockwool is moist. your plants will tell you how many watering cycles they want
