Algae?

New to hydroponics.

Ive got a plant between 1 and 2 weeks old i just put it into 5 gallon bucket because the roots were outgrowing the little netpod it was in.
First night in the bucket was a hot one, i woke up and came down to find the room at 79 and the buckets water at 78.5
There was a brown type of buildup at the water line, both on the bucket and the bottom of the netpod.
I added a little more hydrogueard (though it already had the full dose inside....)
I wiped off the sides and sprayed down the netpod w ph adjusted water...


Was that just some type of buildup from the nutes since it was the same brownish color?
Or am i battling algae?

Either way im blaming the temp i think, Ill need a way to keep the room cooler at night for sure.

It might be from the hydroton not being washed off well enough is my new working theory?
Considering dumping the water and refreshing but ya know, covid 19 making me look like an asshole buying bulk water.
