There are a lot of different opinions on this subject with drip systems. I dont run ebb and flow, i dont no if thats what u were still talking about, but i was talking about top feed drip system with recovery. I like it, it seems really forgiving, but i am gonna switch over to ebb and flow for my next to see how that goes. but if you were talking about drip systems, some ppl sware to continuous drip where others go for the once every xx hours for xx mins. u can experiment with it and see what works best just make sure your roots just dont dry out
i havent ever got a professional opinion on what would work best, or if it is actually just a what works best in your situation type deal
