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!

MaryJayne420 Reviewed by MaryJayne420 on . New to this... Hey everyone - I won't waste your time with BS. I need to know how i'm doing. I'm running a DWC system and this is my first time and when I initially planted the Germinated seed in the rockwool the root grew up, out and down back into the rockwool - hence the stem seeming twisted. I later joined some toothpicks and secured it in place onto the toothpicks once the plant seemed like it could not stand on its own, so by doing this it would assist it to stand upright (I was very gentle).
