Hey stinkbudd1
She looks good but at 15 day I would think she would be feather along. I was wondering have you tried using supplements like kelp and silica in you bucket and spraying you plant. I know between my last grow and this one I have seen a marked difference in the growth rate. It is a lot faster and bigger. Do a quick google search and see what you think. I am using Bio weed from general organics and Armos-Si from General Hydroponics. The Armor-Si if you use it will spike your ph up. And if you are displeased with your plant growth rate you might want to think about changing you nutrients if your plant looks good but isn’t growing then it is not getting something it needs from the nutrients. If she dose not respond to your adjusting the mix rate I would look at changing to something differant. Your ph is kind of low it should be around 6.0 for the best nutrient uptakeT.T.F.N.

yeah i know i kind of averaged topping my soil plants once ever 10 days sometimes less so in dwc the growth is supposedly faster maybe wishful thinking hope not though...
