DWC Grow, BubbaKush, HGK, HeadBand, SkywalkerOG - SEEKING ADVICE

Whats up guys and ladies? I am new to this grow thing and from what people say have a decent set up for a noob. I am just trying to enjoy a new hobby and potentially help my pocket book from being empty buying meds a couple times a week.

DWC:
(4) 5 gal buckets
45lpm Airpump
4ft 4 bulb T5 lighting
Started from clone (from 2 local collectives)
Couple drops of SuperThrive in each 5 gal bucket
Dutch Master Gold Range One to start these guys off.
Humifier
SpaceHeater (garage has been getting cold at night)
Box fan (to cold to run 24/7, Is this a bad thing?????)

Ok so i have the light about 3-4 inches away from the plants i didnt measure exactly. I have 3 buckets with 2 airstones and 1 bucket with a bigger air stone. The water level is right at the bottom of the rockwool cubes. I planted the clones in my 6in netpots 6 days ago. I feel like the transplanting and traveling in the colder tempatures stressed them out, and getting my grow space/water to the right temps prolly stressed them also. I added a couple dropps of SuperThrive and then 35ml/gal of DMGRO. I make sure the Ph is in the lower 5's and i let it rise over a 24 hour time period then i check it and adjust accordingly. Everytime i check the Ph and Water balance i spin the lids to my 5 gallon buckets 180 degrees so light can pentrate different spot (kinda trying to mimic the sun moving.) I try to keep a fan blowing on the 4 little girls but it has been cold the last 3 days and it drops my temps. I have a space heater and a cool humidifier to help with climate control.

Also i have yet to have a root hit the water, about how long does this usually take???

Water Temps between 63-67
Climate temps between 70-77

****NOTE: I want to add RTI Extreme Gardening Mykos and using it as a top feed agent until my root are going strong. I want to pour it in , in small amounts every 24 hours directly at the base of stalk about 30-45minutes before i check the Ph balances.

Pics Below: Top shots are from 5 days(HGK,HB,SWOG) and 3 days(Bubba)
Side view are 6days and 4days

Please let me know what you think guys, i need some guidance and i want to be one of those guys in 15-20 years that knows every trick in the book and you cant learn if you dont give it a shot.

THANKYOU,

Your clones will look inactive until sufficient roots hit the solution. This is obviously strain related somewhat but IME it takes a week to 10 days using the method you are. It's roots before shoots. Leave a fan on 24/7 to move air and keep it moving. It does not have to be in direct contact with the plants. However as soon as they can tolerate it the wind helps strengthen stems. Do not overdo it and you can. Leaves can look like hell if you let it beat them and many are on RIU asking what deficiency they have when it is their air.
 
CHANGED THE WATER TODAY:

OFFICIALLY 4 weeks until they go on their 12/12

Added new nutrients today also, started using just a couple drops of superthrive and Dutch Master Gold Range One last week.

This week i added, DM add 27, DM Zone, DM Silica + the DM Gold Range One and 4 Drops of superthrive.

11 1/2 tsp - DM add 27
2 tsp - DM Silica
1 tsp - DM Zone
5 1/2 tsp - DM GR One
4 drop of Super Thrive
This is per each 5 gallon bucket

water is 1/2" away from the bottom of the net pots.

Bubba Kush PPM - 420
Holy Grail Kush PPM - 450
HeadBand PPM - 405
Skywalker OG - 465

im experimenting with PPM to see which works best.
 
Help, HELP, HELP!!!!!!!


HELP!!!!! I just found several Root Aphids on the roots and several on the net pot.

I just added a couple extra tsp of dutch master zone and two cap fulls of 3% h202.

I am 3 weeks into veg. Should I just pull the one plant that has the aphids (holy grail Kush) and get rid of it????

With your limited experience I say "Yes". Or at least isolate it with even a weak light if nothing else until better help comes along.
