Cover that hydroton my friend you will find the light will cause algea to grow if it exposed to the light for prolonged periods of time you can do this really easiy by just cutting around a bowl with some sort of waterpoof fabric then cut a small hole in the middle with a slit cut out if you look at some of my grows you maybe able to spot what im talking about :)

@HashCakes, Yeah I seen that not the best idea as the light can turn rock wool green for some reason i think its the water and algea I try to plant them way down in the basket when they are seedlings and just use a foliar spray until the roots hit the water :) yeah you should be okay just keep eye on them temps cause thats where most problems will come the water temptures :) best of luck pal great looking plants never the less im sure youll have a great cycle :)

@TheUk420Show, thanks for the info. I want to cover the hydrotron but I packed up high to cover the rockwool. So I've been waiting till there's a little more room to work without disturbing the plant. She started out just rocketing compared to my organic grows. Then on week 2 she just kinda took a break. Past 72 hours she's catching up though. I change the water every week. Pretty mild with nutes at this point.

How is your water temperature? I was reading that if it will get too hot 20c+ then the roots will stop growing and RIP.

@iLoveGoodWeed, if you look at Grow Doctor Guides on Resdit https://www.reddit.com/u/GrowDoctorGuides He explains it better but generally a super sterile environment keeps the roots fresh at high temps. I use a trio of UCRoot, 3%, and SLF100 and sterilize bucket, hoses and rocks with 99% isopropyl once a week on water changes.
