Gary Payton clone DWC

I'm trying DWC for the first time with this Gary Payton cut. I'm using a 5 gal @newlevelhydroponics system with @floraflex2 nutrients! I will say I'm very nervous, but excited to try something new. Gary Payton (#Cookies) cut from @cltvrs Lights: #sf4000 @spiderfarmerofficial #Humidity and Temperature control: IHC-200, ITC-308, & IBS-YH2 @inkbird_us Backpack sprayer & Crop Defender: @petratools Discount code: drboom Hyshield and Hygrozyme by @hygrozyme Fans: @acinfinityinc DWC equipment: @newlevelhydroponics Nutrients: @floraflex2 Being my first try at DWC, I'm not surprised I'm havIng PH issues. To solve this, I'm setting up a reservoir to let the nutrients and ph settle 2 days before water change. Lights are at 50% at 30 inches for the first week. I'm seeing a little clawing, but that nay be a little shock from going in the DWC. I'll keep an eye on her. The next day. I saw some browning in a leaf. I saw the roots weren't hitting the water yet, so I put in a little water to make sure the bottom of the cup was getting wet and pinched the damaged leaf off.
