A few Newbie Questions

Do I have to change my nutes or can i keep adding water and nutes to resovior?
So far I have completely changed resovoir liquids every week.

ebb/flood few Leaves curlin up a little, they were just moved to the ebb/flood.
not sure if I am flooding too often, my timer is 30min flood (minimum setting) 2hrs off

Should I be flooding during dark hours?

Thanks, Hope my seeds are here tomorrow.

dont flood in dark hours
flush and drain res every 2 weeks
is that flooding for 1/2 hour every 2 hours ?

It depends on the nutes. Mine get changed every 15-days.

Curling is often transperspiration. Are they getting too much heat or too much air blowing on them?

ebb/flow during dark? What medium are you using? Rockwoool = no! clay beads=yes.

Good luck on the seeds.

yes, best I could figure from other posts, 30min flood then drain no flood for 2hrs, then repeat. They are in Hydroton

Not sure about the heat, but the fan is far away from them. Gotta check them in a minute see if its getting worse or better. My 1000w hps is 3' away or so. hope its not too close. cant raise it higher.
just Checked them, Looking good no more curling. Maybe a little shock from the move? Hope I'm not flooding them too long or too short a time inbetween, if needed ill get a new timer for the pumps. only takes a couple minutes to fully flood the bins.
here are a few pic's i just took



I think they look pretty good, but I'm a newb Grower..

30" should be far enough away, what about the ambient temp?
