ok my six plants have come along at a good rate in these pics. all the stem have deep purple color and the root mass is coming along great the babies are only about 7-8 day old and are looking better every day. i still have not added the full veg formula yet, im still letting the root mass build its way up so i can have more vigorous plant growth.

alryt the ladies have grown noticeably and they are only 10-11 days old! wow remember this is my first grow so i atleast thought i was going to incounter some stress related problems, but i am fortunet not to have these issues. the nodes have grown more tightly together showing very nice veg. progression although i have still not added the nutes i feel tht the plants fully requires. alittle more growth on top aswell as underneath and these babies should be ready to be put on the formula of veg. tht i think should hold them down for the next month or so.

around the 2 week they started getting a lush green color and are more bushy and defined than before they are just about ready to throw into full veg. probably tomorrow and the growth will really start to show signs of devolpment, cant wait to switch them over and see what happens!

ok well i pretty much changed out the res. and add a newer container tht is black and less light can penetrate to the roots. the plants are doin great! they r lookin better everyday and i am still having no problems! it weird because i dont use a ph tester or a ppm meter or even a ph adjuster kit! jus rain water and the nutes. for every 5 gal. of water i add half strength nutes. check my babies out

Looking good, your gonna need to flower em while they are still pretty short since they are so close to each other in that tote. I wouldn't veg em out taller then 10-12 inches.

umder the lid is a drip system with a water pump connected to it. and some hoses runing from the water pump to each net pot.

thanx for the info. but can you tell me when they are most likely to reach the water with their roots, like how far long should they be?? or dose it just depend on the plant??

From my past experiences the roots usually hit water about a week after they first starting showing themselves from the bottom of the netpot.
