is it safe to hand water hydroton pellets?

It seems to go well i water them once a day was wondering if that is too much or too little water? are hydroton pellets made to stay wet all the time or should it dry then water them again like soil? I noticed the tip of the first two leafs are yellow. i am just two weeks in not using any thing but water till week three.oh yeah and should i cover the top of the pots up?

Clay balls (Hydroton) by themselves can easily dry out.Are they mixed in soil,top layer soil,hydro medium?

Clay pebbles on their own dry out very fast, try mixing in some vermiculite.
Same thing happened with my new Wilma pot system recently...
