If you are growing ebb and flow how would u grow it if not the table all full of hydroton?
Rockwool cubes on a mat covered by panda film. You could grow in hydroton in full skirt pots sitting on a rockwool mat or coco mat covered by panda film and would cut down on salt buildup but you would need a much larger reservoir to flood properly without the xtra hydroton. Would be easier to set up a top drip though. So many options with hydroponics. I think once you get your ph dialed in and cover the hydroton you’ll be ok. I would look into the flood cycles and maybe talk to someone who has done full tables of hydroton because I think it would be better to flood more often than not so the hydroton doesn’t dry out and cause as much salt buildup. Also could look into other nutrients that doesn’t leave as much salt behind, GH is one of the worst for salt buildup.
On the panda film a lot of box stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot carry it along with eBay and most grow shops. A google search should do it. It’s just a roll of plastic with black and white sides. Hope this helps.

Alright I thought I had fixed it but I can't get all them to look healthy. I have changed my nuts to the lucas . Before I did that I flushed the table and washed all the excess salts out . My ph has balanced out and only comes as high as 6.3 and sits there i then bring it back to 5.6 and let it rise. I thought the curl could be to much light so I turned my lights down from 80 to 60%. And helped some but I have some healthy looking plants and some that are struggling. (Only half rate of Lucas )
