Give it some time. Once your roots make it into the water or the bubble zone, they'll take right off.

+1. It takes a bit to get started but once they get going you will be very happy I'm sure.

I'll post pics tomorrow . It was growing so fast . Now maybe just a half inch in 4 days. I should have put the rooter deeper in bucket . It looks good though .. Nice green.....

22 days from seed. Seems ok just a tad slow

Ph 5.8 . Air temp 75. Water temp 73. PPM 500. Using GH Jungle Juice. Seems ok , moved rooter closer to the bottom . Roots are getting bigger . Seems to have grown about an inch in the last week. This is the first week in DW

Also I just bought a blue lab guardian meter. After calibration my PH was about 7.0 the last week. So hopefully that's why it was a slow grow week

This was 20 minutes after the lights went off. Just phone flash.

Just a quick update ... Everything seems to be going good. I will post pics Friday , which will be about 4 weeks from seed.....

The first few weeks are slow. but don't worry. Try to keep your water temp below 70. You said you're using GH jungle juice? I'm pretty sure you mean AN. I just moved away from the GH 3 part, when the water gets warmer my nutes will start to gunk up. Throw a frozen water jug in there daily. Using a cooler as your res with help keep the temp down longer. Sometimes you can get lucky and pick them up at goodwill for less then half of a new one. Later on you will probably need a bigger air pump. More oxygen will not hurt, I like mine to look like boiling water. I just saw that you're going to wait 3 weeks to change water. Are you running bacteria ? I change mine weekly...

Newest pic. This is 30 days from a seed . The bottom leaves look funny have some rust colored spots? Nute burn? PPM Is 620 . It's gone up 100 since going in hydro .... Ph is 6.0 water temp is a bit high at 74. I add a couple 20oz bottles of ice a couple times a day that brings the temp to 65

Better pic of the lower leaves.

The LED is 21 inches to the top of the bucket... I don't know if that's too close or far...

If you're able to get a picture with flash, or without as much red saturation, I'd like to see the sick leaves up close. Sounds like a cal/mag issue, which is common when running LED's. I'd bump PPM's back to like 300-350 then add an extra 50ppm of cal/mag. I use Sensi CalMax Xtra from Advanced Nutrients. It has a good bit of Nitrogen built into it, so it's great to supplement with during veg. If you don't need the extra N, just some basic cal/mag will do you good. Those leaves will never recover, btw. Best bet is to correct this before the next set above it gets hit.

I will take pictures when I get home.. I have overdrive. Would that work? I know when the water gets cold the ppm drops to like 500 from 600 when the water is 74

 

[Turbostang]

I have a cmh light I could use but that's not in a tent... W

 

[Turbostang]

Here's the photo with no LED . Ty for the advice.... When I get home from work water is 75 PPM 610. When I add ice packs goes down to 64 degrees . 490 PPM

 

[Turbostang]

Ok... Here's the deal ... I had my new meter on TDS not PPM so what I thought was 600-620 was more like 800 PPM . Yikes. So I looked at it close and it looks like nute burn. So now I'm at 550 PPM which is 400 TDS. So hopefully . This will make her happy and grow a bit quicker. The roots are starting to get out of the coca and into the bucket. So she should be better. Fingers crossed.
