if you are having root issues make sure the res is light proof, no organic nutes, and run bennies with dechlorinated water.
i had a clone i put straight into a dwc 5 gal just like once the roots hit water it explodes
hey bud, looks like it is going pretty slow.... that seedling should be way bigger. 4-5 months it should be chopped down in your bong by now.
I have had some runty shit sprout that was just completely pathetic and would not grow... if this is your only hydro plant, I think you would have a lot more fun and see better results starting new seeds. you should see high vigour and daily growth in dwc.
keep your seedling going... but you can get new seeds to that point in 2 weeks from germ, and I bet they would overtake your current seedling the third week.
you do gotta get those dead leafs out of there though haha,
a new set of leaves has opened up. seeing noticable growth now daily, even seeing noticable growth from the time i check in the AM to the time i check before bed.
debating a rez change and may swap over to a 5 gal bucket instead of the tote. I have decided i am going to let this one get about a foot tall then flower, should be no more than 2 weeks (i hope).
i will take a cutting and get that going under a few CFL so by the time this current one is done i can start training and flowering another.
