First Grow - GrandDaddy Purple

Was worried the plant was not stretching as much as I expected, but it seems this strain is naturally on the shorter side from what I have been reading, and I'm sure there is more to come through week 2/3. It was only until this past week I was confident that the bottom auto wick watering system was working. Seems soil isn't the best approach with such a system? I've still been feeding the nutrient mixed water from the top and doing a basic top water when I refill the basin. Did some pruning of the lower leaves/off shoots that didn't have direct light access. It stressed me out doing this part hope I didn't wait too long, but at this point I am done doing any more pruning. Excited to start seeing the buds form!
