Hey stonedguy,
I am totally new at this as well. I had stretching issues, and under watering/drying of plant issues very early on. I am on day 9 or 10 I think, been very bad at tracking day progress, too stoned I guess, I dunno. Anyway, I wanted to post my day 10ish picture for comparisons...again I am only ABOUT 5 days ahead of you.

hope that link works.
I would guess that nuted soil really slowed down your progress...but again, noob here, I know nothing!
