Garden of ease - aeroponic grow questions!!!

I just recently got the Garden of Ease (Aeroponic System). It doesn't use a true 360 mister but rather a pump splashing water against a surface to create a "mist-like" effect, still gets the job done i guess.

I just put in 4 new clones that were in rockwool and i put them into 3 inch net cups filled with hydroton . Is it ok to leave these guys in the rockwool or should i tear away the rockwool and try to plant them straight into the hydroton

I filled the rez with some superthrive, FF grow big hydro solution (1/4 str) and some FF big bloom (1/2 str). The pH was going crazy for the first 24 hours or so . i had to keep readjusting because it was fluctuating between 5.0 and 7.0. It seems stable now but the rez is all foamy and frothy with what seems likes like soap bubbles. Is this normal for the rez to get all foamy like this ?

The pump is running 24/7 right now and i'm also wondering if i should get a 1/5 timer for that or something. (does anyone know any cheap interval timers??)

The water temp is good. pH seems good. Just worried about the foam and if i should get a timer for the pump.

Also should i get another pump+airstone for the rez?

Also should i be running the aero pump at night when they go to flower ?

Thanks again in advance RIU

well.
bumpppppppppppppppp
If they are rooted in the rock wool already leave them in it or you will probably damage them. Not familiar with fox farm but my res gets foam in it after a nutrient change out I use the full line of GH it usually subsides in a day or 2. What is your Res. temp?Use a timer on the pump they will explode. I run a air stone it will add to the foaming not sure if it is necessity. My pump is on a timer 1min on 6min off 24/7 if I could I would only spray once every hour on dark cycle.I dont have misters at this point either it still works very
