Leave The airstone On 24/7, has for the Drip system if your growing in Medium thats Like rockwool 24/7.
Yeah 24/7 on the drip. The water should be no more than 2 inches away from your bottom of your netcup. a question for ya..... do you have an airstone hooked to a air pump in the reservoir? If you do you can use the drip untill the roo system grows into the water then you can turn off your drip. Some do both all the time. I can't see how this could hurt. But if you don't have an airstone get one. cheap at a pet store, like 3$ for the stone and 10$ for the airpump. I have an example of how the roots should look in the link in my signature.
