It was in rockwool for germination, the height started from just poking out rockwool to that height in 48 hours.. i thought it was pretty good, but again, its early to tell... and i did make that mistake of the rockwool being planted in the rocks and basicly drowned the poor plant.. im just crossing my fingers and goping this one makes it.. damn seeds are not cheap anymore.. any help you or others can provide would be awesome ;)

My self I dident use any nutrition till she showed 3 true leaves then I gave it 1/4 of general hydroponics rec dosage with rapid rooter also that really helped her start off on the right foot also I dident put in Dwc until I could see roots from the botom or the rockwool I left her in a plastic baggy on a seed warmer tray with a light over it. My seedling never got that tall by time she was tall like that I hade 5 leaves going but also mine r auto flower

Hey DrDeath, just from the pic it looks like theres not enough light and thats why she shot up so tall. Mine usually start out with at least 300w led 24" from the top of the plant. Let us know how it goes with your little one.

Thank you guys for your input. How often have you had to check and adjust PH? Im finding im having to adjust twice so far on same water..

I use a 10 gallon res and top feed, i add fresh water to the nutrient solution every 3 days right now. The PH will go from around 5.7 or so up to 6.1-6.2 i add a little ph down and im right back in the sweet zone.

I check the plants daily, but I enjoy the time. Basically am/pm ph check but have no problem leaving them for days if needed. I also use water from the store. Pretty stable stuff.
