Quit drowning your plants. Both over and underwatering will 'look' the same initially. The number of times you water is medium dependant, the length of time you flood them will kill them, and unless you are using hydrotron, you are watering too many times, no matter what the medium you are watering for too long. Ten minutes from flood to drained is adequate. I use coco-coir as a medium, AL B Fuct uses rockwool and fotocell. we water one time a day. VV:blsmoke:

Your both over watering your plants.. A word of advice put your plants in 1 gallon bottom mesh pots with hydroton and then in the flood table I am against your setup Lordcody ;)

Sounds like over-watering to me. Flood for 15 minutes every 3 hours (lights on).... and use some nutrient while you're at it. :razz:

EDIT: That's for hydroton or big plants in small containers. ;-)
