Aeroponic first timer needs diagnosis

Hello all,

This is my first aeroponic setup and I was wondering if you all could let me know if these plants look ok or not. They got transplanted almost two weeks ago from seedlings and my setup is as follows: setup is inside grow tent with 600 watt air cooled MH bulb on 75% power. It is about 16" from tops of plants. Water ph is at 5.8, water temp is about 74 degrees humidity is 45% temp averages 76 degrees. I fed Cyco veg part A and B per instructions just a tad less. If any other info is required please let me know. Since I transplanted, u can see a couple didn't grow much but that is where they all about started. Mostly they are growing leaves pretty good but look a little sad and vert growth is somewhat minimal in my opinion but what do I know it's my first time??? I have read tons and believe I am doing things correctly but I am hoping I am just slightly off. Thanks ahead of time!

Mh dist chart.JPEGIts actually DWC ...deep water culture in Europe or Hydroponics in the US, in most places an aeroponics requires a mister or fogger to carry the nute to the roots, here they lie in a trough of soup and suck it up in traditional hydro style, although Aeroponics is fun, very few are successful due the the nutes blocking up the foggers ...lol

See the chart for Mh...for the correct height at 600w Mh at 25% off estimate at 450w Mh, but I'd be tempted to crank it up to 100%, with an extract fan on
 
Thanks Vostok, but actually it is aero, it has misters, the roots are dangling and the misters inside are misting the roots at all times. So u think I should either lower the light or turn it up to 100% power on the ballast??
 
Yes I do ....but monitor it carefully over 6-8 hours tho! ....just you wait until one of the misters block, will you notice ? do you have a plan ? lower the light to the indicated chart recommendation, test by leaving your hand there, smoke on your hand may mean its too hot raise the light, please don't get conned with all the sales talk ....lol
