| Hey guys, I just recently built my own NFT system, and am still learning the proper techniques. First, is it acceptable to run my pump continuously, or do I need to create a watering schedule by setting my pump up on a timer? Second, I have heard that in the early stages of growth less is more, when talking about nutrients, at what stage should I start adding nutrients (growing tomatoes primarily)? Thanks in advance for the help. |

| I think running the pump all the time is normal. A tomato seed contains enough nutrients for the first two leaves, and the sprout will require some level of fertilizer as soon as the second set of leaves form. 100-200 ppm is fine if you're mixing chemical nutrients. |
