I saved my first plant!

10/1/11 I was given a "sour diesel" plant. Previously grown in soil the guy told me it quit growing and that there was mold on the roots. I transplanted into rockwool and started vegging 1/4 tsp to a gallon flora series along with superthrive. I can already tell it has grown a little. He had the plant under one 24watt cfl about 18" from the plant so it was really strechy, cotyledon leaves were about 2.5" from the soil. However I fixed this problem while transplanting, the plant is now 5 3/8" tall. Apparently the seed was planted 8/30/11 shouldnt it be a lot bigger being a little over a month old now? Im asking cause how many weeks old are some of you guys plants that are around the same height. Once she becomes a little bigger I will put here in my closet along with a T5 badboy. Again this is my first grow so sorry for all the questions. I will get pics asap.

she will be slow if she was not cared for right. takes a bit to snap back. keep nurturing her and she will grow after she recovers from all the shock. I would get more light on her soon plus there are other variables like ph, air, etc to consider. good luck post some pics when you can

ph is around 6.0, currently its under 2-24" grow lights from walmart 7900K, humidy is 40-50%, steady 84F with lights on. Forgot to mention that a few tips of the leafs were burnt a little, looks more green in person sorry for shitty cell phone pic. I have the quantum 6 lamp T5 badboy and will be using aquarium bulbs same ones used in the "using LEDs with out LEDs" thread started by "professer" once it gets a little bigger
