What should I add to my rez to fix this problem!?!? Please help!

I read from a lot of people that flooding during lights off isn't neccessary. I wasn't flooding during lights off for the last 3 weeks, and I don't like the look of my plants, so I changed it. I read several grows where people flood every 4 hours, 24 hours a day, and had good results. I remember when I first started growing in soil....If I had listened to every "general consensus" for soil growing, I would not have had the great crops I have had.

I flood 1 time when lights are out and never had a problem. Pretty much everyone I know does the same............no problems. (general consensus)

When the lights are out they don't need to drink as much and your adding humidity to the room.

Good point pirate. I think i'm going to adjust the timer for 1 flood period during lights out, and maybe 4 during lights on (currently 18 hours of light). When I switch it to 12 hours of light, flood 3 times with lights on, and one with lights off? Sound good, pirate?

Yup.

If my lights are off for 6 hours I water at the 3rd hour into darkness. If 12 hours off......I water at the 6th hour.

Your on it !!
