britewire, did you note that they are ten days old? how much more roots can you get in ten days, not to mention the root ball inside the pot that you cant see? don't mean to offend, but I must heartily disagree about the roots. they are healthy and will explode over the next week. I will show more picture then to make the point.

Anyway, that does not explain the contorting new growth, and there is not brown on tips or anywhere. How much water are you recomending, how often and how long of a pump cycle? What is your source of info?
