Imo Your ppms seem good no need to increase. Your tap water may even suffice for now but a little nutes won’t hurt. Plants together in a bucket or container will get roots tangled. I hope you will individually separate them when they get a little bigger.
Keep ph in the 5.6-6.5 range. Water temps between 65-75F, use a good air compressor for your air stones. And always try to keep the water moving(no stagnant water.)
Avoid cranking up your lights too high, I suggest the min to 20% for now and approx 12”-16” above canopy for now.
Check leaf temps. Leaf temps should be less than air temp. Use a IR thermometer if you don’t have one yet I really suggest min setting on your light for now till you get leaf temps. Avoid any light penetrating to your water to avoid algae which can suffocate your plant. Abide by these and you should be good till they get bigger, then you may have to add more nutes later on.
Seedlings can grow in a basket with clay pebb Les in a dwc system as long as there is moisture in the pebbles for the roots to stretch. The air stones usually provide enough splash to get the pebbles moist.
Hi thanks for your reply I’ve got got a rdwc top feeder plus air stones for them to go into when ready not sure when to put them in ? My ph after nutes is 6.00 then goes up to 6.07 after couple of days is that ok I’ve turned light down to 40% @ 16in my rt stays between 75f & 77f light on 65f & 68light off

Hi thanks your reply sounds like good advice thank you
I’ve put them in this 10lt bucket with two air stones just to grow on thought be easier to keep eye on everything I intend to put them into a RDWC see pic not sure when do I wait for more roots to come out of bottom 1 root showing now my. I ph after nutes to 6.00 then goes up to 6.07 see pic after couple of days. My water temps are within range.
I have turned light down to 40% @ 18in
My leaves temp is below room temp see pic
My rh is between 66% & 71%
Look forward to any advice
