I noticed that some of the plant's leaves were beginning to turn to a yellow shade. This is not good. After a closer examination I came to the conclusion that my plants have nutrient burn. This is caused from having high levels of EC concentration in your nutrient solution mixture.
So to correct this I unplugged the auto feeder for two days and flushed the plant with 8 cups of clean RO water. I have decided to only run the auto feeder for 12 hours a day from now on, running it along with the lights. This should fix the burn and prevent it from happening in the future.
I have also decided to run the aeration ring 24/7 to maximize its benefits. Because the plant is in my room I am a little nervous she will not be getting all the CO2 she deserves. However, I do smoke in my bedroom, which does give her some of that CO2 ;). I mean its the least I can do when she is giving me some much fresh oxygen at my bedside. I am also opening my window for part of the day to allow fresh air in, which contains CO2. Other than that she is healthy and budding.
