Can someone help me out figuring out the best Aeroponic duration of the misting time (how long the misters are on) down to seconds and control the frequency of the misters (how long the misters are off).I would appreciate it.

I've done 10 minutes on 3 minutes off religiously and they love it. Pay attention to to water temperature with your pump running that frequently though. Just a few drops of olivia's or clonex solution with some fulvic acid.
 
It's not for clones .

How big is your pump, and what mist heads are you using?

The scientific idea is to keep the roots damp (keeps them hungry), not soaked as long wet times cause, leaving you with soggy spaghetti string roots. Ideally, you want a root system that is mostly root hairs, not stringy fiberous roots

You can't go wrong with < 5 seconds on and ~ 4-5 minutes off, 24/7

I will try this with the Nutriculture X-Stream on my new seedlings, thanks for the information.
