How do my seedlings look? New grow journal... DWC Stealth Cabinet.

[newbie77]

Quick intro! New to growing and have built a grow box and DWC system, running GH lucas formula at half strength for the seedlings, they are about 3 weeks old give or take. PH is between 5.5 and 6, 650 watts of CFL lights 6500k and one 24 watt 2700k running for 24 hours. Two shitty airstones with good dual outlet pump (replacing stones next week). I have no idea how they are supposed to look at this age, hopefully someone can tell me if they look alright. Roots seem to be growing in res rapidly but green growth slow and steady. Strain is Blueberry and asshole.

Thanks a million!

Those look fantastic. I am a dwc veteran bro and I gotta tell ya so far it looks like you are doing everything right! Ok, words of dwc wisdom, 1, PH drift is good as long as you stay between 5.5 and 6.5 it allows nutrients to be available across the board, 2 now that you know your roots are good, don't expose them any more, 3 change your entire reservoir weekly, and keep nutrients mild...

I really appreciate the response and advice. It is hard to not lift the lid and look in, I will try not to do this anymore, I have yet to change the res water yet as I am waiting for the smaller of the two to produce one more set of leaves so I can up the nutes a little bit. I plan on keeping the nutes pretty mild as per the lucas formula for CFL grows... I will post more updates as things change..... I just have to change the air stones as the res is not bubble enough and it worries me.

Thanks again!

Yes, I will take more pictures and start this thread as a journal, it should help me through any hurdles I may have down the road! Thanks again, help is appreciated.

Ps. The 4" round ones are the ones I have ordered, they are the good mico-bubble kind. Also ordered a PH pen as I am just using the GH ph test kit right now..

I use both now cause I had a ph pen go south, needles to say the plant didn't approve of ph4 and gave up the ghost.... shoot me a message when you start your journal. Later.
