I am not a hydro grower but I read a lot. I believe you should only water 20-30 minutes per day, 4-6 times a day. Maybe the hydro guys will chime in.

3 times a day. 30 mins each. 2hrs after lights come on, 3-4hrs later, then 2hrs before light goes off. RULE OF THUMB: just enough to make sure the roots stay moist durring light cycle. hope this helps.
