The leaf in the right of the first photo looks like its infested with aphids or something. Definitely bugs

Assumingly you're referring to the size of the grid? I run 2inch but in a small setup, 3.5 is probably better

If you want ill come pick them up and dry them for you

Some photos would help, but from experience id say they are springtails. I've had them before and am pretty sure they don't cause any harm

Roots are probably just stained from that caca coloured water. IMO ppm is way higher than it needs to be. Are you sterilising the res at all? And what does the plant look like, if you have a root problem plant will be a tell tail sign

The feeding every other week might not be the right way, but I've always had good harvest and never had deficiencies. Main reason for it is that if you add nutes every refill the ppm gets ridiculously high. Especially since I just run tap water which is already at 350ppm. If you notice a...

I'd go with bigger containers, longer between filling up and maintenance and more water=longer to heat up

I can't really comment on the nutrients, but should be fine as long as they aren't organic. I would run sterile instead of messing around with beneficial bacterias i.e great white and hydroguard I do a res change before switching to flower and then every second week I refill with nutes, I never...

Yeah pluck it out with tweezers

Possible nanner

+1 for mites

Calcium deficiency? If you're not running a recirculating system then definitely run either bennies or sterile

I just run 50% peroxide, 10ml once a week. As for DO, I haven't really noticed any differences in growth when res temps are considerably cooler. I say give it a crack without a chiller

Oh yeah sorry forgot to convert to freedom units (86f) I meant temp in my tent

Very true, you never really get rid of them once you've got them, just like herpes
