Seems lke a lot of nutes..What is your total EC/PPM? What do the roots look like?
Are you adding any chlorine to keep a sterile system?

I’m not sure what the ppm is honestly. It’s 4 gallons of water though. Basically 1ml per gallon. She’s growing but pretty slowly

At that age around 300 ppm.. You need to get a meter so you will know.. Water temp could also be a problem.. Try to keep it 65-68 degrees, if you can't, chlorine will keep the nasties away..

Even though I add voodoo juice? Beneficial bacteria

With high temps and bacteria you're kinda making a petri dish..
Not many people succeed with organics mixed with hydro..
Are the roots white or brown?

Shouldn't be any algae unless light is getting in somehow.. Gotta pic?
I would run a mixture of PH'ed water and a bottle of 3% peroxide (h2o2)
for a couple days see if you can clean em up..

It’s algae from the nutrients, House and Garden Algen. It’s beneficial for the roots

I just bought a ppm meter. My tap water is 300 ppm with the added nutrients it’s 679, after I added the hydroguard and voodoo juice it went to 955pmm. Is this fine? She’s about 4 weeks old now and pretty decent growth with lots of side branching
