HI >) I have a hydro waterfarm system with the rockmedia. I have been watering 15mins. 4 times per day my plants are 2ft.tall. Is this too much or too little?

If they're growing at a steady healthy rate than its fine to continue, but if you see signs of over watering obv cut back.

Overwatering? Hehe, tough to do when using grow rocks. Is that waterfarm using the circular drip rings? If so, most folks run them constantly. Once the plants get big enough that any splashing water doesn't hurt them anyway.

If the roots are already in the water, then you want to run the pump all the time to aerate the water, otherwise the roots will drown.

I run mine once in the morning for an hour and once at night and I also keep a 5 inch round airstone in the bottom of the bucket, maybe overkill but works good
