Topped the reservoir up with 1L well water. Still no root showing, but I have been messing with it a lot the past few days (tearing the rockwool and peeking) and the root wad just growing side to side searching for the nutrient water, because I failed to realize my reservoir was too low to make the bottom of the rockwool cube moist. It seems like this made the plant a little confused, not knowing which way the nutrients are, and just searching around for it.
It does look like it picked up a bit and the leaves are coming in nicely. Hoping for a big growth spurt this week and finally roots popping down. Still using the same nutrient mix from the very start, and still not planning on changing the whole reservoir until I see roots.

Starting to take off, looks like they're enjoying the nutes now that they can reach them bahaha!

Still growing, and getting bigger every day!

Roots are finally showing in the bottom of the basket! This is great news because now we will see a big surge of growth. A little longer and I will refresh my reservoir and have a few more things added (like silica, and wetting agent, etc (I will have it all listed when I do it)).
You can already tell how happy it is by how fast it's growing, the difference between today and yesterday is stunning, and I can't wait to see more!

Changed the reservoir, here are the nutrients I added this time around:
1tsp Root Farm part 1 Base
1tsp Root Farm part 2 Veggie
1tsp Technaflora MagiCal
1/4 tsp Plant-Prod MJ Boost
1/4 tsp RAW Silica Powder
1/8 tsp Fulvic Acid
1/8 tsp Humic Acid
1/8 tsp Gaia Green Soluble Seaweed
Well water is 450ppm for a total of 1500ppm in the reservoir, PH is 5.8, also adjusted the light back to 250 ppfd (23-24VPD). Temp is resting at a steady 22-24 degrees Celsius, and humidity around 47% with the tent closed.

Happy Valentine's day, all! 💚
Growth is great! Going into week 2 of veg, if you take off my seedling week in "week 1". Glad to see nore roots starting to peek their way out of the bottom.
Looking forward to another great week, see you all there!
