Mate, you need to start feeding schedule right away. It’s not like soil. Did your roots touch the water yet? If not, give feed through the top until the root touches the water, then feed it through the bucket water. To make the roots grow and hunger for your bucket water, initially keep the space between the roots and water about 2-3 inches. Your airstones will bubble enough and it will condensate your roots so don’t worry about roots dying.
Ph is too high. You need to keep it between 5.5-6 but I find that between 5.7-5.9 to be the sweet spot.
Which bucket are you using? I like it. But remember, no light leaks through any creaks or your roots will turn against you and bucket temperature should be cold to cool >65F - <75F.
If you use beneficial microbes like hydro guard, then they prefer temps that are above 75F but I have mine set water temp set at 73F and they seemed to enjoy it.
You may want to invest in such things like hydroguard or make your own Heisenberg tea for your roots. They don’t like high temps without any support and root rot may come out nowhere.
Cheers man I’m excited for you. DWC is so easy if you get it down.
