I have an ebb and flow system, home made. 6 pots in a lowes concrete mixer tray with a 22 gallon ressy and my room is 88F high and 65 low. My humidity is crazy low at 20%, I thought it was just my cheap meter but I bought a new one(more expensive) yesterday and it reads the same. I have been leaving my back up ressy open to increase humidity but that hasn't done jack. I got an A/C running 24/7 at 74F..

That isn't even my real problem it is that my plants are showing signs of underwater/overwatered. I use 3 gallon pots full of hydroton and 400W Mh. I orginally flooded at 3 hour intervals for 15 mins with lights on 18/6 and once when lights off. I changed it to 4 hour intervals with no flooding at lights off because I thought they could be overwatered, but they look the same. They look good in the morning hours but real droppy in the late hours before night. Could they be geting underwated? I thinking of going to 2 hour intervals. Its so dry in there according to my now 2 meters. My plants look beautful in the morning but pathatic in the evening.

Damn this post is long, anyhelp out there?

I check my ressy every day. 22 gallon res with 300 ppm of GH 3 part nutes. I increased my nutes and flood times and they seem to responding better. I think I need to bump up the nute load. My ph is spot on usually 5.9-6.0 doesn't rise or drop, my ppm has been somewhat steady it will drop a little after a few days and I'm aware that means it needs more. I think I'm starting to dial this in. I got some heavy feeders blueberry skunk from the dutchmen.
