What a survivor!

what a survivor!!!

listen first and foremost,I am Not claiming to be an expert at this,my experience is teaching me well.A little history;I started growing in soil,but it proved to be disasterious ex.mg defiencies,nitrogen defiencies,all kinds of different things going wrong.One day I got the bright idea to start growing hydro,without "real knowledge"(I just had bits and pieces)and I can safely say to all who are thinking about growing hydro,YOU HAVE TO get A TDS METER AND PH METER (electric will be best) before doing anything else.This plant right here is my baby,I'm not saying that because I hatch this from a seed,i'm saying this because this is actually the "top" of another plant.The story,BEfore I had a tds meter and ph probe I was trying my best to keep the feedings and the ph at an optimal level(to the best of my knowledge)To make a long story a little shorter,I tried to go the "cheap" way out by getting a soil ph meter(the plant is growing in a bubbler) and taking an educated guess at the ppm.Woah that wasn't good,I abused the hell out of that plant with my "educated" guesses.One Day I came home and the plant was on it's last leg *virtually dead,so I took everything that I learned from these fellas and clone the top before it was totally dead.Well it cloned in about 3 days and look at it now.I really hope this is a female,hope it didn't get stressed too much.Any suggestions or comments welcomed please
some info on this plant
1. It's been about 23 days since this was first cut from the top of the other plant.
2. The Ph is 5.8 (it's on 5.8 almost steadly)
3.The seed was bagseed of some "kindbuds"
4. PPM is at 650 (with the water's ppm included) So I guess I am adding 350 ppm of nutrients and suppliments
5. My tap water starts at about 290-300.I let it sit for 24 hours to let the clorine dissapate
6.I am currently in the veg state
7.For nutrients I use "Hydrofarm's Grow nutrients for hydroponics" and 3 drops of superthrive vitamin suppliment
8. 400watt metal halide
I also have another bubbler I started about 4 days ago
5.6 PH--340ppm

All questions and suggestions welcomed please
