(R)DWC, Dripper or NFT? How to use?

Does the manufacturer not have detailed instuctions on their website?? Google it.

The binary code is right, i used hydro for a long time and a too strong pump will ruin your growth and electricity billy i would definetly let it run a minute every few minutes, but more like every 10minutes imo, but depends the effectiveness of your system, you have to find that out for yourself i guess. using airstones can higher you pH and if you go too far, you will have a pH your plants dislike. So check that too

Since there's only one airstone vs one in every bucket, I'd probably run the pump even during later root growth just to ensure good O2 levels, or get a splitter and run a bubbler in each bucket. In a top feed system like this you need to watch out for roots plugging your drain line or you might get flooding.

probably want a cycle timer. runs a minute, off for 3mins. Once the roots hit the reservoir, not as necessary. More for early root growth before that point. 24/7 would depend on flow.. as long as the roots get enough O2 it'd be fine, too.
