Default Problems after transplant to hydro from soil

Wanted to try bananas in hydro. So I planted one of my SDCs in a drip system. The first days it was a bit "limp" and I thought it was the transplant chock.
After a few days it started to get burnt around the tips of leaves (both new and old leaves).
First days I just added a very small amount of nutrients (EC = 0,35 mS) but after about 4 days (after burnt leaves) I added some more nutritiens (now the EC is 1.25 mS).
The burning still keeps coming, but in a far slower rate.

Could the problem be it was to low EC, or could it be transplant chock, or anything else. Anyone experienced the same and should I expect this when transplanting a banan from soil to hydro?

Can anyone describe their best method when transplanting a banana from soil to hydro?
