Grow Mediums DWC Dutch Passion Auto Night Queen stops growing

[teddi]

Hey guys i am going for DWC the first time and got a problem right now.

Setup:

80W LED Hanspanel (New version / Cree LED)
15 Liter / 3 Gallon DWC bucket
30 Liter/minute Hailea Air Pump
Advanced Nutriets Grow Bloom Micro at 1/4 strength (no additives)
PH 5.8 / Plant looks very healthy
Growboxtemp 24° / 75°F
Watertemp ~22°C/71°F

Seed popped 3 1/2 weeks ago in rockwool, directly transplanted into netpot it took about 2 weeks till i got visible roots touching the water level. Last week I did a little LST by binding the main shoot down. Roots were growing pretty good but stopped also1 week ago. Its only a little rootball, big like a ping pong ball. The girl also stopped growing since last week...but she already started flowering. No visible stretch since last week.

For me it looks like she wont get any bigger. Has anyone ever had this problem? Perhaps i stressed her to much by LST? I once had this problem in soil when i started growing and tried to top an autoflower....

Ill be uploading pictures in the evening.


Greets!

How do the roots that you do have in the bucket look? Are they nice and white or are they brown and slimy? Your root ball should be the size of a soccer ball by now. How tall is the plant?

Roots have been all white since i changed and cleaned the res 3 days ago....30 minutes after changing the res the roots got a little brown but not slimy. I think this is caused by the AN Micro...this stuff colors the water little brown. Plant is about 4 inches tall if i dindt LST it would be just about 5 inches....ill be going to upload pictures in a few hours. I also used 2ml of clorox yesterday because the water feels just a little slimy.

No dont throw away, i had an auto blueberry that vegged for 13 weeks, that jungle juice is funny in hydro spikes too much, i ended goin mad asked my shop to take the shite back didnt know what else to do, but im starting to thing dont have roots so submerged in nutes, we have air bubbles to mist roots not soak them, i may be wrong but sounds right
