First time grower nervous using DWC, seedling light green, anything wrong here?

Using a 3x3x7 tent. This plant is 12 days old, in 5g bucket with additional 5gal reservoir. Using AC S33 light at 36" above at 100% strength. Water is 1/2" below the net pot. I just started using 1/2 strength GH Flora trio two days ago. Maintaining PH daily, it has swung from 5.5 to 6.3 but I try to keep it stable at 5.8.

It’s looked a little pale since it’s first leaves were half grown and I want to see if anyone thinks anything is wrong or not?

Welcome to the neighborhood. I can’t help with this because I only do soil. I’m sure someone will chime in on this for you. :blush::v:

Thanks for asking, you obviously have much more experience than I do :slight_smile: and I appreciate you taking the time! So the blue lines are returns for solution?

BTW even though there are two grow buckets in that pict, since I’m new to this I’m only using one until I have some success.

I use 5gal buckets connected via 2 x 1" tubing approx 1" above bottom of buckets. There is a small water pump in the res that provides a light, continuous circulation. I have a 4" flat airstone in the grow bucket using an oversized airpump.

Hope ya don’t mind if I reach out when I’m ready to expand :wink:

Specifically I guess I’m doing DWCR too? Thoughts?

@NYDon it wouldn’t let me add the picture and had forgot, so here it is! This pict was taken while leak testing.
