At what point did you go from plants in dirt to the same plant in grow rocks? I'm lost did you have a plant grow in dirt then decided to switch to hydro so you washed the dirt off the roots and then transplanted it to grow rocks?

What is the temperature at the top of the canopy while the lights are on and what's the temperature with the lights off? Wondering about the swing.

I wasn't aware you could switch half-way into a grow ...

That's ok I did not think you could either.

Check the roots and see what color they are?
