Depends on how big your rockwell cubes are. By drip system you just mean a 1/4 spagatti tube coming on a 1/2 or 3/4 inch pvc or pex mainline? Or do you mean accautule drippers?
The best thing you could do is put that rock on a flood and drain system or in hydroton expanded clay pelets. That
Look on www.youtube.com look there for videos about hydroponics. Topfeed runs when the lights are on. It mostly depends on temps and RH Relative Humidity of your room. Its up to you to figure out how many waterings you have to do. Just dont let it dry out. But watch out of overwatering/drying out. Im shure you know the differnce.

Feed with a 1/4 strenght hydro mix with B1. For two days.
For veg give them 1tsp of each(Micro,grow,bloom.)
for flowering give them 1tsp grow 2 tsp micro and 3 tsp bloom. Start with that and then slowly take away the grow and micro near the end. And flush the last week.
Get some koolbloom to ripen near the end. Never let your ppm go past 1700ppm. best is 1200. Its better to go light. At least you know they are eating.
Once you experiment with the juice. You will understand how to do it. Then you can start adding things like humic/fulvic acid, Potasium silicate, bloom boosters, carbs, vitamins, Kelp for sprays. Go get some neem oil and start spraying early. Once you can see the mites you know they are far along. Get them early and you wont have to deal with it later when there is a build up.
Pretty much.. Experiment to learn. Hands on work makes you understand alot better. See what your plants like.
