Hi buffdog, welcome.

Is that a wick system underneath or do you water from the top? What kind of nutes are you using? Rockwool seems like such an interesting medium.

My last grow I vegged until about 12". Overall plant height ended up somewhere around 20" The rule of thumb is to veg half to a third the height you want them to stretch to in flower. Every strain is different though.

If you happen to grow them too big you can always tie some branches down (LST).

Good luck with your grow.

no 60 is way too low ya leaves will turn purple. 75-85 is good. If you got em at 60 then in flower you would have to have em at like 50-55 they'll freeze .

Since you are using hydroponics I am more concerned about what water you are using. Setup looks sweet in general but I noticed you called it a NFT system then later called it a wick system. So my two questions are what type of water and what type of hydro system is it, wick or NFT?

Using tap water can be fine, however chances are the plants will do better with R/O water. (reverse osmosis) I am not sure how old your house / apartment is the faucets etc.. If you live in a new place chances are the tap water left out for a day to let chlorine evaporate and ph'd right would be fine. If you live in a place like me with old pipes, faucets etc... then the water could probably be way better.

What you are basically concerned about with water is the TDS / PPM, PH and temperature. I recommend getting a TDS / PPM meter, I am waiting on mine that I ordered for 15$ off ebay.
