hello Elchuy and grats on ur first hydro grow.
Just a couple of points I would like to make. Your plants are looking healthy and they seem to be off to a great start. First point i would like to inform you of is to be vigilant with all the readings you get from pH, and ppm. The pH is critical for the plants to have the nutes you give them be chemically available. Secondly and also just as important as the first is watch your temps in the res and at the canopy. If water temps are getting about 75F you will start having problems. Another thing to watch out is light penetration into the rez. This is a very bad bad thing. If there is too much light that penetrates and the roots are exposed to that said light they will turn green and your plant will stop growing or die. It is imperative to not allow this to happen. Usually to combat this you can get some black paint and paint the res. Just a few points that I hope will help you to a bountiful harvest. Good luck to you and spark one up.
Peace and positive energy to you

Nice lookin plant there, good luck with it.
Nailz pretty much nailed it, that's why the name, follow those rules and you should be ok.
Be very light with the nutes at first, by the looks of the photos, you should be ready to start increasing the nutes, just do it slowly, the plants will let you know when they are hungry.
