I would like to know what kind of schedule to put my spray pump on. The holes are 1/16 drilled and the pots get a good soaking. I don't want to drown the plants. The water is not a mist its more of streams spraying the pots. So far 15m on and 30m off has been working.

Hi @Newbie_Grower! Congratulations for your new setup! I would recommend to stick with your current schedule since it seems to be working great, you may want to adjust to "10min on / 10min off" once you'll be entering flowering mode, plants will need more nutrients intakes than they do now. Remember your pump will generate heat if working too often / working for too long, so avoid using it more than 10min. Hope this helps, I'll be around, keep us up-to-date and good luck with the hydro setup!

It varies from setup to setup as hardly anyone has the same amount of airflow and water flow. Itโ€™s best to experiment and see which works best for your setup. The key is to make sure the roots donโ€™t dry out and to not overly soak them as to not let them breath. Iโ€™ve heard of people doing 15mins on 15 mins off. 30mins on 15mins off and similar variations in between. If you arenโ€™t seeing any issues as of right now donโ€™t mess with it. Just keep a close eye out and make sure the roots are staying moist. Hope this was helpful. Good luck on your grow!
