Taking a guess, but unlike soil the dwc roots are always in contact with nutes so losing roots just mean a slightly smaller uptake right?

Grow update:
re-potted dwc seedlings still looking happy:
Got some rust spots on a dwc seedling, may be the low level of calmag in the RO water I used:
overall they are growing too damn fast though, should have them in the main dwc in the next 2 days.... and hopefully I get lucky with a girl or 2

You'll need to supplement a little extra calmag with RO water. Everything is looking stellar Dooby!
Beautiful man, tons of happy green growth going on, vigorous too!
Also really like your security system hehe
Good stuff man! . that room looks ready to rock!

Thanks guys and DF that vortex looks so good!
Room and grow update:
Well yesterday was a big mission day to get the room up and running. Had to flush my dwc with 50L of water and then refilled with the same amount + nutes. Re potted some of the soil seedlings into big pots. And spent a very nerve racking 10 to 15 minutes unraveling the dwc seedling roots. Luckily the wife was around and helped me with it. I was ready to just give up and rip them apart but she kept me calm. Knew there was a reason I keep her around
Also got a set of the quantum boards wired and plugged them in and BOOM. A board shorted out and took another one with it. Lost about 10 to 8 leds on each boards. Checking with the supplier now as there's a burn mark on one of the screws so it looks to be bad mounting.
But apart from that set back the plants are looking happy in their new home.

That's a kak one on the QB man, did you get them from Daniel from Growopz? Added to that I would be careful in potting up in such large pots with such small plants. I found it difficult to get a good wet/ dry cycle going in particular the drying out part thus having more bugs that you would want. Current I pot up 3 times during each grow ensuring I get a nice root ball and making it easier to control the soils moisture content

Good to know!
Yeah I did, feel a bit bad because he wasn't really wanting to sell components. But he's going to send replacement boards and I can used the shorted boards for spare leds or just for lights as its still got a fair amount of leds left. And sorry to anyone else wanting to get diy boards, he's not going to sell them again.
And ja, the big pots aren't the best idea, damn plants where suppose to be bigger by now....so I'm being very careful with the watering. I'm only water along the edge of the current root ball and a sprinkling on top. The reading up I did said this helps promote root growth in a bigger pot.
Looking good bud.
Just be careful of overwatering the soil plants. Especially the little ones. Happens easily and is the number one cause of stunted growth in seedlings.

Yeah....found this out on this last run. Couldn't help babying the plants due to having decent genetics but I'm getting there. Must restrain myself from watering
Loving them to death.

Loving them to death.
Yup, I'm going hug them, and love them and squeeze them and hug them and love them...as Elmyra Duff would say.
I think we all do at times lol
Who? LOL!

And here's some data from the room temps and humidity:
The temps have pushed close to 31c and that worried me a bit in the previous runs grow but I've since been told that you can run higher temps with leds and not get a slowing of growth. During flowering I'l run my A.C. so I can preserve them teprs and maybe get a splash of colour on the buds
Poor dehumi is working flat out though, not sure how long it's no name branded ass can handle this.
