probably gonna need a bit more than 3 times a day. it is really a timing thing that only you can figure out after your next grow. nice set up-looks like you got everything covered.
keep in mind the longer the duration and frequency of floods, they less strength nutes they need.
I think these are Sativa's right? if so, I am gonna say those ppm's are probably as high as you want to go for now. they usually have less tolerance for nutes.
look into DWC for your next round. or try one out for flower-very cheap and a lot less problems than ebb and flow and maintenance. it is slightly less tolerable to changes and mistakes than ebb and flow but the growth should be about 10-15% more than ebb and flow.
you can also very precisely control the height and width of your plant during her intial strecth in 1-3 weeks of flowering by the size of the res.
