Anywho, have noticed lately that the tomato plants look very "droopy". My initial impression would be a lack of water...but I've researched that too much water can do the same thing.
I don't know the min on/off times for your timer but that seems a long time to go without water. You might try 15 on 15 off, or 5 on, and 5 to 10 min off. Also the roots are long and look like they might be hanging in the water, you might want to trim them back or tie them up somehow. I would try to get the nutrient temp down. I don't know what the room temp is but most tomatoes like warm weather. I would check the temp at the leaves to make sure the lights are not too hot, but the room temp should be between 80 and 90 degrees with low humidity because they don't like wet foliage. A simple test would be to go back to your old watering cycle and see if it changes anything, you should know in less than 24 hours. If you have the pump continuously running you should know in a couple of hours.
