i too had the same issues, as i was new to DWC, but not growing. LOWER YOUR NUTES- I dont event give any to veg plants (although i use RO water so i do use CALMAG) but that's it. Roots take off like mad. I too tried increasing ppm to over 1100 and it burned my roots! IMHO, 1200 is good for ebb tables but not when the roots are constatntly in the solution. What do you have to lose? I agree, those roots aren't developed enough..when i was in that situation during veg (slow root growth) i'd simply snip them if they were getting too big, and let the root system catch up with the rest of the plant. I am running DWC with 3-400 ppm in veg, and 700 in flower ,using AN just a&b no additives. KISS...
They're not really dwc buckets. It's one of those ebbandgrow cap systems with the 2G buckets works just like ebb and flow tables but in buckets full of hydroton. I'm thinkin of converting the sytem into a dtw coco system though. I'm pretty over the whole changeouts and hydro thing.
