She looks so good, what is your plan topping? early or late? i usually topped at 4-5th knot just days before of switching... focusing to get at least 8 branches, not the best way to go but that is the best has worked for less than a month veg that I usually do.. 
Nice growth on that @SeedsMan Black Sugar.
She like to come out of the gate strong.
Be safe, and grow well my friend,
Tok..

Alright so after the disappointment of finding crown rot on the first round we finally have another seed going. Will update soon. No more top watering!

We are back on track up here in the UP. The mistake(s) I made with Black Sugar version 1 and my previous 2 plants;
1. I started growing in Colorado. It’s very DRY. I found there I had to constantly keep my root cubes wet or the seedling would strougle.
2.I Moved to Michigan. Things are WET. EVERYTHING all the time. Mold is an issue. Everywhere. Especially summer time. Keeping my cubes wet the way I was with the temps in the low 80s was a recipe for contamination from mold and other nasty stuff which was causing my crown rot. I was simply over watering and not letting the cubes dry out.
3. I started black sugar 1 before my new fan and carbon filter came in the mail. My old pink fan simply sucks to be nice about it. $12.99 fire hazard from Walmart that shouldn’t have been in my tent at all. Barely moved air and didn’t oscillate. The carbon filter had been used temporarily in a garage that had a bunch cigarette smokers nearby. Not in the same room but close enough. I believe it greatly ruined the airflow as well. By the time it was all installed the contagions had already infected the plant. Now everything seems to flowing much better than before. The dry cycle is much better and I have not had any weird growth on the cube like before.
Lessons learned- Airflow and a clean grow environment are extremely important. Air filter , air pump and hoses, air stones, fans, and other equipment should be cleaned and inspected regularly and replaced BEFORE a grow is started. Over watering is the gateway drug to mold and other nasty pathogens.
First three days.

So we are about 14 days in. She had a minor root issue at day 5. It put her a bit behind but she recovered. I wasn’t sure so I started another one. I had to make an improvised small DWC out of a plastic cereal holder hahaha. Looks solid. Might tip idk lol. But now we got two. The 14 day old one is finally looking like she is ready to grow for me! The other one I will try to lollipop it.
She looks as cute as a button!

Doing good so far. Not seeing signs of the other issues I was having so it all seems to be finally solved and under control. Just have to be careful with mold here in never dry U.P Michigan. Land of the rust home of the mold. The big one is at 16 days. This one had a tap root issue but survived and is now thriving. The little one is 4 days now. Seems like she likes her cereal box lol. All in all we are heading in the right direction finally!
