I figure the drip method is constantly watering so why can't i feed as often with ebb & flo.

exactly!! my pumps have no timer... always pumping... as long as water is aerated the plants love it.
 
i have slimey roots. i finally got sick of this crap and just pulled it out of the hydroton to discover slimey roots. so i have an algae problem i guess. my logic is its mimicking an overwatering situation by smothering the roots and keeping oxygen from getting to them. im going to read up on TBG post on getting rid of slimey roots and try that. im currently adding H2O2 and no light is getting to my res as far as i know.
 
I feed my flood table 4 times a day for an hour each. One hour on, two hours off. My plants love it. I am using bc products by technaflora. They have worked the best for me so far. They are ph balanced at 6.2 so once you get your ph adjusted the nutes help to maintain it. It makes things easier for me.
I keep my res at 68 degrees for flower and 72 for seeds. When your flood table drains it causes a suction pulling air around your roots. That gives your roots what they want both in nute uptake and oxygen uptake for fast growth.
