Our research and development professionals discovered early that PVC pipe products were renowned for experiencing problems with plant viruses(pathogens) recurring in the garden systems. Poor plant growthseemed to occur even when growing conditions seemed "perfect ". FHD once again corrected the problem. The solution, "Plant Tier™" System* PVC growing tubes and stands are treated with "titanium dioxide". This protective coating eliminates the problems experienced with disease recurrence in the root zone, as well as significantly limits the effect of "UV" rays making untreated PVC brittle and porous over time.
This is the questions I have been trying to get an answer for. These are the tweeks we need answers to. Where to place the drippers. I'm getting ready to start my first grow in the MPB and for the last week have made three different rings for my plants and really would like some clearification on wether we soak the rockwool or let it wick from the sides. If this is an answer that is only answered with experimenting so be it but many people used this system and yet still can not get an answer. DD if your around give us your two scents.

Thanks Tom. DD's says to stick the dripper directly into the cube itself. I just have been too chickenshit to do so myself.

My top feed consists of 2 pieces of spaghetti tubing running to each bucket. And a cycle timer.
Through weeks 1 - 3 I have one of the lines directly flowing into the cube while the other is flowing down the rocks on the opposite side of the other feed line. And the cycle timer is set to 5 min on 5 min off.
For weeks 4 till the end I move the feed line off the top of the cube and now both the feed lines are flowing through the rocks (opposite sides). Cycle timer set for 10 min on 5 min off. My cube stays wet the entire grow and this has never caused any problems.
During the flush each week between res changes the cycle timer is not used and the pump runs 100% of the time. Same as with the final flush, the top feed runs constantly.
