Aerocloner to hydron

I have some clones that are in an aeroponics cloner. I'm going to grow them in an Ebb and Grow with hydroton in the buckets.
Everytime that I transplant to hydroton, I get what appears to be transplant shock. The leaves will start turning yellow and the stems go from a nice green to purple. I let my ph go from 5.5-6.3 when I transplant and I let my ec sit at about .8. My clones are pretty big when I put them in the hydroton. Should I be using something like super thrive or KLN to reduce shock? It takes about 3 weeks for them to overcome the stress…. Any help would be much appreciated.

Make sure you don't smash the root with the rocks when you add'em.
I use superthrive through the whole process and fulvic humid acids and great white.

But some strains are just straight pillow princess bitches .

What kinda lights and par during clone to veg?

I use t5 during clone and then I go to metal halide 600 watt with the light being 5 feet away from them. I’m super gentle with the roots… I just don’t get it

Is there a better way to transition? I just don’t get it

I've no experience with those lights. I use a apogee par meter and leds sorry mate. 200-300 par clone 500-600 veg But par has a huge effect in my experience. Both those spectrum's are blue i believe so that should be an easy transition.

Could be the strain. But definitely use super thrive " an ounce of prevention is very then a pound of cure"
