Looks awesome man you're doing great! This is really your first grow? If so you're not getting it out of the park. Next time you go to order seeds be sure you get a hold of me I'll give you my affiliate links for ilgm and fast buds autos!

good luck with the grow.... enjoy

Good luck dude 🍀🍀🍀

good luck buddy

Nice girl the best for the futur 👌💪🌱

Hey there! just curious, how much air do you have in those buckets? What airstones are you using and what is the water level in relation to the bottom of your net pot? I think your plants are growing slowly because the roots probably were not poking out the bottom of your rock well cube when you put it into your bucket. I assume your cube is staying too wet to promote the root to grow and search for water. When we are using any form of DWC buckets you generally want to grow out your seedlings on a cloning tray in their cubes under some low wattage lights. But keep them close to your plants and only water the tray slightly. This will ensure that your roots will begin to stretch out looking for water. so that they begin to poke out the bottom sides of your cube then t that point you put them in your net pots. You want your water level a good 3-4 inches below the bottom of your net pot. So that your air stone bubbles the water aggressively enough, that it is slightly spitting water up at the bottom of your cube. Other than that, your temp gaps are nice and tight, however, I would raise the temperature up and try to keep it between 79-84 F during Lights on and no less than 9 degrees during Lights off. Cannabis plants during seedling / early veg phase love heat and humidity it's the buds in flower that hate it. If you have any questions, just message me and I'll help out as best as possible. Happy Growing!

@LegacyMarketFarm, first, thank you for the guidance! Much appreciated! Let me start by telling you that it took me a few weeks to dial my environment in. My friend who grows in a warm climate kept telling me temp and humidity didn’t really matter and everything that I read and saw on YouTube said it did. I live in a cold climate and the humidity over winter was like 21%. in the basement... and the winter here had my space cold. The first few sets of leaves were even deformed so I knew something was up. Picked up a heater, a humidifier and some purple foam insulation board and got it under control. The air stones are the wide round flat ones that suction to the bottom and the pump is the noisy metal vivosun model with a 6 way splitter and only 3 lines active, valves fully open. Wasn't really confident with the light distance recommendation because of the environmental stress so I moved it up and down a lot. Now that the leaves look healthy and it did grow quite a bit, I have the light at the recommended height and I've recently wrapped my buckets in reflective insulation which has the water temp between 68 and 72. The temp is usually 70s.. sometimes 79 which makes me nervous cause the humidity shoots up. The water level in the buckets my friend told me to keep filling it up to 1 inch in to the net pot. I posted the root ball with week 7s pics but things seem to be ok but it's my first time growing anything so I have nothing to go off of but pictures. I change the water every Sunday when I clean the space and do leaf maintenance and I notice they are drinking it up cause it's usually 3-4 inches lower after 4 days. I check ph the first 3 or 4 days to keep it 5.6-5.9 and by the 4th day it's usually stable til Sunday. My seedlings I do start on the heat mat in a prop tray til the leaves come out then I put them in the tent with everything else. I have some other plants in solo cups right now that are doing well at 18/6, 100% light. Again, this is my first grow so I'm definitely nervous to screw things up but I'm constantly listening to gardening podcast, audiobooks and awesome people like you that don't mind sharing information to get me in the right direction. The plant does look good to me though. No nute burn, it recovers fast after an aggressive defoliation with Recharge of course, and usually the next day looks like I did nothing which is so insane to me. The whole process is cool!
