Root system has exploded and is sucking up the water and nutrients, Plant 1 has grown and continues to grow substantially every day. Have started LST training to try and maximize bud potential , Havent added any water or nutrient since the first time, water levels are still at a high range. No root rot detected and plenty of oxygen bubbles in the water from the air stone.
Trying to spiral train the plant so far have two tie down on the stem and new branches seem to be growing upward toward the light (good) so will continue to try and work the main stem around.
plant 2 is still only 3" tall but has grown some small leaves, delayed growth being contributed to the Cotyledons falling off due to 'helmet head' I had to physically remove the shell from the stem as it wouldnt fall off. thought I was going to loose the plant but the little gal has held on and now i have roots reaching through to the water level and I have seen growth of leaves and stem height so now I am thinking we have made it through the worse and hope to continue to see growth pick up as the days go by. Still slow do fingers still crossed. If time comes will do LST but will try a different techniqu than plant 1,
