  1. Okay, I have a decent size container that i am using for hydro now. I have a water fountain pump in it that you use for an oustide water fountain. i have 4 nozzles two on each side of the plant that does the 360 spray. Well, while growing this plant it was doing great but then got sick. At first i thought it was nutrient lock or burrn or lack of. not the case. I think i have root rot.

    Reason is because i have my pump running 24/7 with the nozzles pointing towards the roots. My question is... If i place my pump on a timer what are the desired times for watering ? Should i do half hour on half hour off? thanks
