Most likely it is just transplant shock, probably broke or damaged part of the root sticking out. But it might be caused by the other two things you mentioned. 1) I'm not a fan of using nutrients at this stage. You are interested in putting down roots, not growing the plantlet. Some people find using a little clonning gel or powder, or just B1 vitamin better for transplanting RW plugs into blocks to stimulate more root growth. 2) I find that a PH of 5.5 or slightly less to have worked the best for me with rockwool.
Good luck and good growing. :thumbsup:
