Thanks Tiny, I didn't know that at all! So i'll just keep the same setup that I have then, it seems to be working for me. Furthermore, I have taken more pics as promised. You'll notice that there is more of a vegatative bloom to it and it's reaching up to the light that is just 3 inches above it (from what I read, this is good to keep it from getting too stretched out). Before then, it was just branching straight out. The first pic is an example of my beauty 4 days ago and the picture below that is today - which again is a DRASTIC difference from yesterday when I changed the water/nutes. ALSO - where the stem was brown from it getting close to rotting, because it was sitting on constant moisture on the rockwool. It has almost successfully shed and it's a bright healthy green stem underneath!

The below photos are in order:

1. Taken on 1/4 -

2. Taken on 1/8 -

2. Taken on 1/8 -

I would imagine in the next 3 weeks or so (just guessing here), i'll need to have my flowering lights ready. What am I supposed to look for on the plant to know when to go into 12/12 flowering?

As always, any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!
