I'd like to second Niko's observation. I used to grow HC in a hydroponic flood system and had good results. However, I used Grodan rather than Aqua$oil.
I wanted to add that CO2 supplementation to the emersed culture results in faster growth rates. I first tried with sprinkling oatmeal around the plants (thanks, Paul!). Later, I added a DIY CO2 supplementation system that seemed to work better.
What you're trying to do is maintain a high humidity until such time as the plant adapts to a lower humidity environment. This will happen slowly. Start by opening a corner of your plastic film. Then over a couple of weeks, open it a little more.
Let the plants be your guide.
