I had a question about drip feeding coco... If using a drip system can u run it 24/7 as long as its just keeping the coco moist with minimal run off?

Ok, thanks for the replyYes but you have to be careful of over watering

No. It can be over watered with a drip system. You can hand water to waste 3-4 times a day and not be over watered. But a drip system that constantly runs to waste will over water it. And I mean constantly as in a never ending flow, even if it's just a tiny trickle, will not allow any oxygen to get to the rootsIsn't the whole magic of coco that it can't be overwatered?

yeah... I don't know about thatNo. It can be over watered with a drip system. You can hand water to waste 3-4 times a day and not be over watered.

Correct.Ahh I suppose that makes sense, coco is supposed to hold oxygen but now you say that I guess that's *after* the water has run off..
I'm glad this came up as I'm currently designing an auto watering system for my next grow and constant drip vs. timed watering is something I've been trying to decide on... it makes sense that the whole 'cant overwater coco' thing relies on the water being able to drain off so air can fill the empty space
No it's not. I don't use any type of air stones in my reservoir (because I use Blumats). And I have zero problems.yeah... I don't know about that
The fluid going into it is fully oxygenated and it's passing right through the vessel
