damn man lol sorry to hear about MIA seed. i dont know anything about growing hydro., but ive learned that the is no way around getting enough light. mine where about 5" before i got enough light and the leaves looked like dust. they where small and really really weak. i had to tie mine to tooth picks to hold them up. i got some good lighting and they just shot up and got way stronger. i just started to flower mine at 4' cuz i didnt know any better. lol i just learned they get 2 to 3 times bigger as they bud. my grow space is way to small for that so i started LST mine. im ordering some seedbank seeds next week. im thinkin white widow and purple haze. if i get them growing good ill strt hydro. with cuttings. if you have any tips about hydro let me know. im going to use a homemade drip setup i read about.
