being pumped continuously onto the Rockwool. 2 x 12" Airstones connected to the air pump.

Lowered the water down to a trickle over the Hydroton instead of a stream on the rockwool last night as I was afraid the roots will get over watered. all seedlings showing first set of true leaves now.

Day 7 since dropping the seeds in water,
Day 4 seedlings
Got a new container and switched everything out.
Hid the white water pump hose underneath the lid to block out light/aesthetic reasons.
20 gallons Tap Water with 5 gallons of R/O water -
PPM is at 170 @ .5
PH was at 7.5 this morning, lowered it back down. It's now 5.7
No nutes yet.
Added a tiny bit of PH Down since the res PH was at 6.5, is it normal for the PH to keep going up everyday? I keep lowering it and the next day I find that it's back up again.
Added rolled towel for humidity, and temporary foil cover to prevent light from going through
Leaves are getting bigger but may be yellowing a bit? I'm guessing this is from stress from moving it around too often.
I felt the rubber hose today and it felt a bit slimey/slippery.... is this normal? I'm going to guess that's algae trying to grow so I put the foil over the hydroton to ensure no light gets through. If anybody knows the culprit feel free to chime in.
