DWC is fkn rough before you get it dialed in. I feel for you man, I was caring for a buddy's DWC cycle and could only make it there once every two days - not often enough to deal with the swings of a newly built system, not being a water grow guy myself. 14 days in I threw up the white flag, emptied the DWC buckets, loaded them with dirt, and they fkn exploded. It was a beauty thing to behold.
Mine (his) were locked out and smallish, even after several weeks, like yours. I mean no slight to you or your grow, but have you thought about filling those buckets with soil? The scrog nets (which are awesome btw) could stay intact, and off you go.
Just my two cents.
