Pete - trimming the leaves is done for two main reasons:

To reduce weight - a bigger leaf holds more water and hence weighs more, which can cause the plant to bend over when it's weak.

To make the plant smaller so that the leaves of your clones aren't touching and sticking together and rotting.

So the reasons are more mechanical, for lack of a better word, than having to do with the root growth.

Scientixt - I noticed you didn't clean all the loose plastic from the underside of the holes you drilled. You might want to take some sandpaper and de-burr your holes. Otherwise, many of those little pieces of plastic will get into your solution and could eventually damage or clog your pump.
