Wow after 1 day. Can you elaborate what great white and plantacillin is and best place to pick up some. I'm doing the same type bubbler but just straight tap water and it's taking 5-7 days

Not a root. Lol. It takes at LEAST 10 days for nubs. Lose the heating pad. Also, you'd be a lot better off putting a submersible pump in there with a manifold and some spray nozzles turning on/off every 15 mins.(alternate up and down with the tabs on a timer) Aero cloning yields better than DWC. Just my $0.02 though.

So I scrapped it and started over I kept the two with the biggest roots and transferred them to soulless mix to see how easy it was 
This next round I’m going to try clippings of my rdwc girls two weeks into flower. I’m interested to see if they root faster I thought I read somewhere that they root quicker when they are a week or two into flower

Quicker roots occur when you have low Nitrogen
I also like to use distilled or R/O water
I keep my root zone higher temps than the tops
Pure water works best no additives

I tried the pure water route the first time it didn’t work for me just got slime. Do you have to change the water every week. Because I’m going on almost 3 weeks with out changing my water and it’s still looking and smells great. With the bennies in it. Has some foam around the edges. That’s it.

I rarely change it just a few drops of bleach or I use pool shock just a grain or two
Those bennies only slow rooting effort IMO

My buddy swears you only need RO and bleach too, but I tried it with hydroguard, some rooting hormone and tap water (with high salt content from my softner) and I had 100% roots in 10 days in the aero-cloner I built, same time as his took in similar home-built aero setup. We both never changed the water, both our systems work with water pumps and spray nozzles that are on 100% of the time. Seems in these systems you can use all different kinds of water? I haven't experimented enough to notice a time difference yet as I just built mine too.

this is what mine looks like under the hood:
