Hi guys,
thinking about hydroton here - is it a necessity to drip all the time?
the idea would be NOT to recycle the nutrients, draining to waste the rather absolutely minimum runoff.
rather than dripping 24/7 figuring out the time it needs till runoff, pause for an hour or whatever interval, repeat.
would this also saturate all the hydroballs by their wicking effect?
its all small 1gallon pots.
would this lead to issues or can it be run this way? it appears much more efficient to me and would cut out tons of the problems
i read about concerning ph swinging etc.
