Does this look ok for Day 20? It's an auto bubblelicious. Keep in mind I might have stressed it some when I transplanted from soil to a DWC bubbler system. I just want some experienced people to look at it and tell me if I seem to be on track for day 20 and if it looks healthy or not. Thanks :weed:

I guess I should say that I am using CFLs and I keep them close and surrounding the plant. I would assume that's why it's so bushy and short??

They are a little small for 3 weeks.

Give us a little more info, like what kind and how many CFL's, feeding schedule and so on.

Well, I've got 4x26watt 2700k and 1x42watt 6500k cfl's. I'm using a DWC bubbler system. Water temp is 66F. Light temp is 77F. PPM is 1130 using Fox Farm liquid trio. Ph is 5.5 to 6.1 always. I never let ph get too low or too high, ever. Lights are on an 18/6 schedule.

There are actually 2 plants. One is doing ok and the other is doing shitty and they are the same age but very different in size. You can get more details by clicking on my signature to my grow thread.

I don't have any experience with hydro but she's definitely small for her age. I think the transplant has probably stressed her out a little. Give her some time, she should start growing again. I grew one of these on my last grow and sadly it didn't auto flower (yet to see one of these new ones auto flower). Hopefully it will turn out better for you.
Also, the yellowing on the bottom leaf looks a bit like Nitrogen deficiency, which is odd as you are feeding. Again, not too sure how it all goes down with hydro. :P

I think that you are in danger of loving your plants to death.

And I don't think it's ever a good idea to change growing mediums this late.

My advice is this.

1 - Nix the peroxide unless you have root rot. It's not meant as a regular supplement.

2 - Get more light. It takes a heck of a lot of CFL's to give a strong enough light to grow healthy plants. Or invest in HID.

3 - Simplify. It's a plant, it only needs so much attention. It will take care of the rest.

Good luck.

Humidity is 40%. Is that too much for veg?

The only thing I can think of is maybe I have the water level too high and the roots aren't getting enough oxygen. I have 4 big airstones in a 5gallon tank. It's not a lack of oxygen from bubbles.

This is getting very frustrating.

Today is the first day that the droopy leaves have perked back up. Wow, they might actually live! Still no growth at all though in almost 2 weeks. I do see some very small brand new roots coming out of the mesh pots.

Everything I have been reading lately leads me to guess that it's a cal/mag problem combined with shock from transplanting into DWC from soil. I don't know, just fishing in the dark.

I know it really frustrates me to have this problem and to have wasted 3 entire weeks and a SHITLOAD of effort. But, I'm still optimistic!
