i got a hydro busket system for one plant, hydroton rockwool,light est... it looks to me that the plant is not growing fast at all. its been about 3 weeks and the plant is only 3 inches tall. i think i can do better in soil. ppm is about 500 ppm. under a 2 foot flo with 2 bulbs. can anyone tell me if im on the wright track? plant is green and looks good but small. her name is chocolope. no pic at this time sorry everyone
 
lol well it could be a number of things, you didnt list all that many of your factors. it could be anything from under nuteing to under or over watering to wrong ph levels to light burn from a high powered light or anything really. list more details. mine were slow growers too but it was because one of the befor mentioned items.

If you started from seed, the first couple of weeks seems ridiculously slow..... just wait until they get their groove on. The growth is amazing at that point.

cold temps seem to freeze little seedlings, sometimes they look slow but are developing roots

moms easy to keep under fluro tubes, 120watts or so would do, way cheaper than led
