ya, don't worry about the green alage. Thats just from getting the pibbles wet from hand watering in the beging and the light hitting those top pibbles.
As long as there in no black, red, brown alage on theh roots then you are good. The roots do look healthy from the pictures above.

@Aquaman correct me if im mistaking but it should be nutrients, calmag, PH adjust, enzyme
The enzyme should be the last thing thats added.

yea roots look great, its aminly this one plant that was the biggest but hardly has any roots, they all are sick tho but the ones with bigger roots are handling the issue better, ill get a photo from the other tent witch was planted about 4 days earlier

depending on how big the bet pots are and how much pibbles are in there. Your plants are pretty big but i don't see much roots sticking out of one of the pictures. The other one seemed better.
Lets get them standing up again and then will work on the roots. You do have healthy roots based on the picture

I've been taught to keep the water level about an inch below the net pot. Sounds like perhaps you have found your problem! Post and let us know how things look in a few days and great job on possibly solving your issue!
