Hmm, how do they look, not to shabby for keeping them water and trying to maintain a hydro reservoir. Personally I don't see why anyone really bothers with the extra time and care it takes to maintain a one, especially when your plant will react quickly to any abnormalities. These fluxes in my opinion from what I have seen and experienced slows growth so any gain hoped to be obtained by growing in hydro over soil typically nullified, especially for the inexperienced grower.
I am not against hydro, for the grower who has experience and wants to have an orchestral hand over all biological input the plant in hopes of formulating the final output, more power to you. But pound per pound soil can produce just as well if not better without greater possibility for setbacks, failures and all the extra work, bells and whistles to play with. Meaning our lovely ladies left to grow themselves in soil can stand node to node, bud to bud against anything in hydro, IMHO.
5 Weeks in soil, I will venture to say she is a little more bushy and a lot less stressed, you can see that by looking at her... she is one happy dirt camper!
