Do you have an air stone bubbling in your bucket? Is this DWC? I usually top feed my plants when I first transplant them into hydroton for a day or two so the roots will grow down and into the res. Or you can fill the bucket up till it touches the netpot and with a air stone the water will soak up to the roots until they can reach into the water.
You'll get a better response if we have more info.

Are you starting just like you have it or did you move it there?
I gave up Rockwhool and use Rapid Rooters now. They make it much easier. I found rockwhool to be a pain to work with. It does work but it takes more work. I like to pop them under a dome for a few days and then move them into the DWC when they are 2"to3" inches tall. That way I can cover the whole Rooter or in your case the Rockwhool with Hydroton. That way it does not dry out so fast or grow algae on the rockwhool. Then I top water for a few days till I see roots coming out of the netpot.

See I did the same thing but I switched back to rockwool because I found the rapid rooters were molding faster and drying out way faster. They would also make funny smells if I ran them 60 in a dome. I've done 90 clones per tray before with rockwool and never had the problems i was having with the rooters. Plus I find the rockwool is just cleaner in hydroponic systems

I don't use anything but a foam collar in my spray cloner for my clones. I would never use a RR for clones or RW for that matter. We are talking about popping seeds. I don't have a mold issue because when I pop them and put them in a RR they grow much faster and put out more roots then RW will in the same amount of time. I keep them under a dome for 3to4 days with a temp about 85f so they stretch a little. I like them like that so I can completely cover the RR with hydroton when I move them into the DWC bucket. Yes they will mold if left out for a week or more. But the way I do it and with how fast they grow in RR's I never see any.

It is hard to say. It looks pale like it needs to be feed but it also looks like you might have a root issue.
What are you giving it and how many times a day are you watering?
What is the ph of the water?
