i adjust the ph everyday to 5.8 but i noticed it will go up everyday to about 6 before i adjust it down again. I read though this is actually a good thing and will prevent nute lockout allowing different nutrients to be absorbed at different ph levels.

if i drip water on them all day won't that be too much? i started off my seedling with 15 min three times a day but i found that to be too much. my plants are alot bigger now, so you think i should up the water?

checked out that article, and i'm pretty sure my ph is on, never doing below 5.8 and never above 6.1. my nutes should also be good i'm using bonticare nutes liquid karma, pro grow at the full recommened for seedlings putting my ppm around 350. my guys did suffer slight nute burn about three weeks ago as i got a little eager, but seemed to recover very fast. But the article didn't say anything about curling of the leaves. I'm nervous about the watering because its the only part of my system i can't really monitor accurately. I mean i can change when my pump goes on and off and for how long, but i don't really know how many mL's each plant is getting. Do you think this is my problem?
