Okay, first, it looks to me like you buried them a bit shallow in the hydroton. Nothing can be done now, but this will cause the roots to take longer to hit the rez. In dwc, your plants dont really take off until the roots have a few days in the rez.

Also, I see that you left the plastic side wrapper on the rockwool, this will cause the roots to only grow from the bottom of the rockwool because the roots cannot penetrate the paper/plastic cover. In the future,remove this.

Your lights are a little close, I would back them off, keeping it 6 inches above the canopy.

Check your rez and make sure the roots have hit it.

Also, what is the strain? Some strains are notoriously short & stocky.

You actually "Can't" over-water with hydro and even the term "over-water" is a misnomer, really over-watering is a lack of oxygen which is possibly in hydro due to a lack of "bubbles" or oxygenated water..

What kind of air pumps you got in that baby?
