Wish I'd seen your journal thread sooner. You started not too long after I started my 5 Easy Ryder/1 Onyx grow. I was pretty obsessive about taking pics for the first 2-3 weeks, so take a look at my journal for a good comparison of how my CFL growth compares against your LED growth. I too grew in FFOF soil, and I didn't add any nutes whatsoever until they started to flower at around 19 days, and then I only added Liquid Bloom from Dyn-gro, although I've cut back on that and started adding molasses at least once a week. I did use a couple additives pretty much from day 1: An enzyme product called Hygrozyme, and a Silicon solution called Pro-Tekt from Dyna-Gro.
Don't even try to compare our Onyx grows though, at least not past day 10 or so. I severely stunted my Onyx accidentally at around day 12-14 from seed, when she was exposed to 100+ degree temps for over 48 hours, along with one of my Easy Ryders. Both suffered to be sure, but the Onyx suffered the worst because of her age and size, and really didn't grow at all for a week or more after that. That pretty much was the end of her Veg phase, so although she's flowering she's barely grown any larger and is only around 5" tall at day 30
. The Easy Ryder that was exposed with her also stopped development for about a week, and suffered some burning. On top of that I dropped a light right on her cola not once but twice, slicing off one of her top two main branches. She's rebounded fairly well though and is now the largest of all my Easy Ryders, although her flowers are clearly about a week behind the others in development not surprisingly.
Anyway, take a look, and I'm very much interested to follow your grow, so please post more pics. I know others are just as interested as I am to see how well you do with that LED since most are very skeptical of LED grows. I definitely would have told you to put your LED WAAAAY closer to your plants (like 1-2"), but if the manufacturer says the ideal distance is around 22-24" I guess you can try it their way this time. I keep my CFLs no more than 2" away at all times to maximize the lumens that my girls receive. It can be tasky, especially when they go through their stretch phase and are growing about an inch a day, but it's the most efficient.

Good luck!
Oh and be REALLY careful when you repot. I put all of my girls in the final pots when I planted them, or so I thought. I had to repot my problem child today because it turned out her pot was smaller than I thought it was. I cut off the bottom of the pot, and cut the side of the put, allowing her to just slide down into the new pot where I had already put some FFOF soil on the bottom, and then I just filled in the sides. She was pretty dry so 99% of her soil stayed together and didn't fall away from the roots. Glad I transplanted her, her roots completely circled the bottom of the pot when I cut it off, she was definitely ready for something larger.

), but it sure looks to me like she's only 1, no more than 2 weeks away.
