They finally made it into the buckets today! Man they are bigger than I thought they were. 15 days from seed! Hopefully the momentum keeps up and I can have some success. Adding my other light in the tent and adjusting some things around today.

Thanks! I’m impressed, I did dirt many years ago. This is a whole new place for me, first germination wasn’t the best but these ladies are taking off.

Update today!
PH. 5.7
TDS: 650
Days: 16
I had to pretty much remove everything from my tent and reorganize it. Quickly realizing that I’m going to frame in a room in my basement. I needed to add the other light but was just a pain getting it to sit right. If I didn’t have room tent would be just fine. But I’m looking around like damn I have tons of unused basement. I’ll need an area to dry in anyways.
Don’t mind the wires on my lights I wrapped them all once I got it set just didn’t take a final picture

@boleg when’s a good time to top
Let em go a bit longer. You end up so tight to the net pot that you can reduce the airflow and get algae and mold. In your case fortunately that won’t be very long from now to top.
I usually wait until the first couple of nodes start to produce side branches.
They were just transplanted, the collars are just temp probably take them off today. Just wanted them a chance to root better as they were wobbly.

These are around 20 days old, the “runt” is about 34 days old but is only slightly bigger. Still a great looking plant though for sure! Love these plants!
I must have only grew trash back in the day, these are only around a month old and the smell is so strong once I open the tent it’s awesome. It was funny I had moved them into the new pots.
Went upstairs for dinner and was like man did I close the tent?? Went back down and laughed at myself, wasn’t the tent. It was my hands

The second picture is the oldest one, has a few spots on the leaves but I think that’s from the troubles it had starting out. All the parameters are in check just keeping an eye one it.
Nice looking plants you got there 
interested to see them thrive.

Have an issue on the older fan leaves not sure what the problem is. Any ideas? @Bogleg

GH Flora 3 part - 1/2 strength
Hydroguard
CalMag
20/4 light schedule
5g bucket DWC - 3 airstones in bucket
Thinking it maybe Nute Burn related, going to do a res change and cut down the nutes. Only thing I can really find that looks like that.
Went out of town for 5 days, this what happened. A few things thatll perk up as I changed the water. Seriously need some lst done and won’t be long. Around 30 days old

After a bunch of trimming to remove some damaged leaves. I did a ton of LST and it looks great, a lot better than when I got home. PH bottomed out in the smaller one. Did a res change on everything so positivity they will bounce back. Had to adjust some things in the tent to move the around. Still amazed how they grew that much in 5 days! Probably let them recover and switch to flower before long in the next few days for sure.
Making my screen tonight and probably mess around with it a bit.
Seems with the HLG lights and GH Flora 3 part - 1/2 strength, make the calmag a full 5ml per gal. Im seeing it with a lot of new HLG owner’s.(happened to Me too) Maybe give them 2 more hours of sleep
That was the problem. Before I left I changed the reservoir and dosed higher calmag, growth exploded and no issues on the new leaves. Decreasing the lighting to 18hr now and see how they make out.

Mine just look beatdown with I give them over 18 hours. Glad you got your problem fixed. With the GH Flora there really shouldn’t be any deficiencies so normally its PH lockout or calmag or a root problem. I think you’ll like the end result running the DWC and HLG combo.
Makes sense, they are rolling I think. Ones a little droopy as I left for 5 days and water got lower than I expected. But they all look better after a change today. Figured it was something small I was doing wrong. Still learning as I go. 
DWC is new to me, love the setup though it’s easy.
I’ll probablt end up going to RDWC on the next grow. My basement flooded before this and had to rip it all out. Now have an empty basement with the potential of putting up a discreet large room. So that’s probably happening…
