When I transplanted the roots look good and white. I switched from RO water to my well which comes out at 310 ppm not to bad, better than buying it. I did notice that with ro water the ph does not fluctuate as nearly as much then with my well water. Not sure where u got the six plants pit? I have 4 in there I believe with out going SOG 4 is the max. Anyway the plants look good today - a little nute burn I adjusted the ppm yesterday to 1200 and the like it. I'll post some pics later..

I went with 6 but thats just a suggestion...I have a couple megagardens that are 20"x20" and I put 4 in there and they topped out at 38" each. I would think that the extra 16"x16" would allow 2 more plants but I may be wrong

Sounds like the original poster used regular soil pots for his hydro grow rather than the traditional net pots most of us use. I'd cut the entire pot off and transplant back into the correct bigger net pot if it were me.
