Is every 3 hours the correct of time between flooding? I am in 5 inch net cups. This is for veg and mom's going to find different containers for moms.

I have 2 cuttings in plugs starting initial growth spurt, 2 that were in aerocloner with straight roots still not taking off.

flooding 2 minutes every 3 hours 24/7 under blue t5's.

RO
Calmag+ 5ml/g
PBP Grow 5ml/g
bleach@1tsp/g
700ppm
ph5.9

Thanks

I flood every 6 hours in hydroton. I tended to get root rot flooding every 3 hours.

I will see if dialing it back helps. Using a dead rez too. Going to start using the grow plugs again too but don't want to lose this C99#4.

Thanks.
