I think that you are supposed to continue flood/drain cycles evenly throughout the 24h period.
Now I am wondering if you do not have a bacterial bloom or something in there. Molasses is GREAT for those types of bacteria. And aeration -which you need so good yo uhave it- would promote aerobic bacteria. But again, I AM NOT AN EXPERT ON THIS STUFF!!!! This is all hunches. How are the plants? Do they still seem happy? Is there any buildup on the pump filter? Are the roots still white? Do the roots smell bad?
