yep I will agree with all things said above. If your plant's roots have not yet come out of the net pots there is something wrong, most likely you are overfeeding them. I do not know too much bio-buckets either but those plants do look a bit waterlogged. There might be a slight flaw in your design, who knows. Are you aerating the water enough? Keep the water level as low as the bottom of the net pot, no higher.
They look like they could do with more light too. How far away do you keep your lights?

My lights(280w) are about 8 in away, and due to heat issues, thats as close as they can get for now. I'm soon to get a fan to cool the cool tube I just built.
As far as only filling the buckets with water to the bottom of the net pots... not such a good idea there. The lava rock must be submerged in water for the beneficial bacteria to have a place to live and culturize.
I think, I may just pull that little baby out of there(she has had too many probs to list), and fill my closet with the others that Im pulling out right now. I just redid my system so that now it holds 4 buckets, and recirc at 2 1/2 min. All of my buckets are newly light proofed too.
Thanks for your help guys, I appreciate it.

I was gunna say heat stress combined with over nute...perhaps your ph fell off a bit?
hey, well ive used bigtokes bio bucket system before and from what im seeing theres 2 problems, 1 is that the plant doesnt have the root structure to yet be completely submerged in water, thats a young plant, you want the beneficial bacteria to survive but not at the cost of killing and stressing your plant that much, 2nd is ppm or ph problem, your tips are yellowed and retracting b/c of one of the two, keep at about 6.0-6.5.
a tip from somebody whose killed his entire room trying to do bigtokes system, its difficult to setup at first man, you have to culture the bacteria and get it established, which takes upwards to a month before the fluctuations in bacteria stabilize. drop the water level to just below the net pots. if you still dont wanna do that, go to the pet store, get them to grab their filter pads and squeeze you about a small bags worth and add that to your system, that is all the aerobic and anarobic bacteria youll ever need.

OK well, all of the leaves are starting to dry out on the one i posted up. The sprouts I have are doing great. They are all starting to grow their first set of 3 fingered leaves, and roots are showing outside the peat pellets. So today I set up some soil for all 4 of them with perlite. I put them in dixie cups and gave them their first feeding at 1/2 GH's recommended strength for seedlings and cuttings(1/8 tsp/gal). These will veg under the floros, for much longer this time before I try to swap them out into the BBs. Hopefully things will turn out better for the sake of MJ.
