How does my newly rooted baby look?

Here are some pictures of my newly rooted baby clone. I transplanted from rooter plugs to hydroton. Leaves look decent, there are some very small white spots on some, stems are purple as you can see, I hear this is normal, I am not sure its part of the strain. Leaves are also not as perky as I would think they should be. They are on a top drip system that feeds them once a day, it was more but I backed off due to trying to cure the purple stems. The lighting system is 2 24'' T-5 plant lights set 6'' away from plants. I have a small amount of fert in my nut and 2 air stones. I would appreciate any advice or input anyone has.

sounds like your lights are a bit too far away, try droping them to 2 inches from the plants. what are the temps and humidity running? you may also want to up your light power, at the very least add another t5 or two.

This is just my cloning station. I have the two rooted clones I was given, that I am trying to grow then grab some more clones off, and the clone I have was from this same strain. My veb grow room will have a 400 watt hps and a top drip system consisting of 6 five gallon buckets and a 55gallon res. Are you saying my two HO t-5's arent enough to even keep these plants alive until I transplant?

2 t5s are fine till you transplant, but you may still consider droping the lights right on top of them. you will get a more compact faster growing plant if you keep the light close from the start
