My timer is 1 min on 4 min off...
I have 2x 12" air stones inside the root chamber as well.

Not that I have the best grow but if you take a look I have never had root problems. Tons of other problems, lol but not roots.

Key for me is the air stones. Roots love oxygen. I've actually thought about putting kelp or seaweed inside the chamber but I have no idea how that would work and I would much rather not deal with another set of issues. One day though I'll do a test and see if I can make it work. <---I think this is moving towards aquaponics though.
