Dry rapid rooter in veg?

[fortphoenix]

hey guys I'm doing flood and drain in hydroton... i know you shouldn't let your water level touch your rapid rooters and I'm pretttu sure people don't hand water the plugs the whole way through veg either so at what point should you stop hand watering them? my plants are 2 weeks from germination and even if i give the rooters a good hand watering they will be dry again in 2-4 hours under my 400w a/c hps. and not only that, the rapid rooter is like impossible to evenly water. any tips on how to evenly water? ... so basically my question is, do you just let your rapid rooter dry out in veg? and at what point do you stop moistening it and let it dry out? any help is appreciated!!

I grow in dwc. I stop top watering as soon as I have roots through the basket and into the nutrient solution. Never worry about it after that.
