First dwc/bubbleponics grow! Keep it updated

Ok so I decided my bag seed soil grow is going so darn well... why the hell not start my next crop with only a few weeks left in flower? ...
So i started off by getting...
-some dope ass strains from some UK based seed shops... herbies and seedsman for some sweet freebies.
-some rockwool cubes + heat mat + clone dome/seed dome ( epic for germination... just wow ).
- gh flora bundle kit
- a 160 gph and an 80 gph air pumps... is that abbreviation gph right? Lol
- a bunch of air line and foot long heavy air stones so they don't float... found that out after a nice bubble disc kept floating... dirty sob
-a couple cheap water pumps to slap at the bottom of my rez's for circulation
-many sized net pots and clay pellets plus some heavy duty dark color totes

Seeds started germinating about June 18 and we're all popped the seed and standing about an inch to two inches with the tap root just poking out the bottom of the rockwool on June 22nd. That day I decided to put them all into their own net pot and mix my water/nutrient solution and shibaaaam into the hydro on June 22.
Here they are now all 8 days later on a 20/4 cycle right now... first pic is when they just got planted June 22... next progressive pic is June 30. They be sitting along side with my beauty that is going through two full veg cycles and turning into my master bush! Been working ages on her... will have her own thread in a few months. Broken in half twice plus cat using it as a buffet ... fully wild story with it later!

My roots ended up smothering the water pump i had in my tote and burning it out.

UPDATE 1 WEEK FROM LAST PICS! 2 WEEKS SINCE SPROUT Loving how it's going... but getting some coloring on a few... going to add some cal/mag and my hydrogaurd should be in today so I'll slap some of that in my rez's also.

First two are the lemon kush fem (LK) in prior pics
Second are purple pyramid fem auto left (new commer with some rough weird growth no idea why) and kc brains northern lights regular right (NL)
Third are my favorite ones... sweet skunk autos (skunk)
And lastly fourth are girl scout cookies fem auto left (gsc) and delicious candy fem right (pk)

Day 23 now, changed all res waters 2 days ago at 3 weeks. Topped the purple candy today as she is about 18-20 inches tall already. Temps been steady 24-28 for highs and 18-22 for lows. Humidity goes from about 40 to 60

Ph always let rise to 6... down it to 5.5... ppm was bout 600 first 2 weeks... for the third I upped it a shot a bit to 800 and with this new res water she's all at 1000

First pic is the purple candy and northern lights
Second is girl scout cookies left and purple pyramid right
Third are the two lemon kush
Fourth are the two skunks... ones just beasty

Any critique would be awesome! If all look well for the age then saweeet!

BTW lights were all fluorescent for the first week and a half... had about a week of a mars 600 and fluorescent... for the 3rd week figured my shit out and got my 600w mh up and going.

OR if you want water circulation or good dispersion of the nutrients... get a nice solid comercial 70w air pump! Quite the rumble but damn she supplies both 64L tubs for my female non auto and the two 32L tubs for the autos with ease... waters always moving... plus I've got a mini 80gph pump in each large tub. Hope mine don't have that issue! Ahah

28 days now! Decided to wait one more week to flower... going to be going from one 600w mh to two 600w hps... maybe even a 1000 and a 600... at least 1200w for flower though. and bumping up the nutes from 1k to 1200-14ish Yeeeeehaaaaw ahah hope they can handle the big flower nutes bump... looking marvelous so far for my first attempted auto and female seed bank strains!
