OK, I am no expert on your system, but my first thought is those roots are really small for such a well developed clone. You need to ensure you have the right conditions for root growth. Right now what happens above the water line is less important than building roots.
To me, both temp and RH are too low, and PPM too high. You need to create an environment where respiration is happening as fast as possible and the roots need to get bigger to support that. Also needing to search a little for nutes encourages the roots to grow. Pump up those PPMs once you are fully in veg, not quite yet.
Roots will also "air trim" themselves a bit too. Yours look plenty wet, but for example if you grow in dirt with a fabric pot, roots that make their way out the side of the pot will stop growing as soon as they see the air and light. Make sure you are not doing anything that would cause that.
Are you bubbling? Are you technically ona drip system or DWC? If DWC may I suggest cutting the top feed and letting the roots seek out moisture, maybe the top never dries out?
I've never run DWC but I thought they were just for he first part, not 100% sure tho. They do look overwatered, might be worth a try.The Superponics 8 system says it’s a DWC system that has a drip system as well as an air pump with air stones. Sorry if i’m not explaining it in the best way haha. So you maybe suggest cutting the top feed pump for now until my roots can can mature first?
Any ideas of how I may increase the space temp and RH?
Is this in a closet? What are your lights?
In general, lighting provides more than enough heat for the grow space and usually you are working to deal with getting rid of heat not the other way around. Looks like maybe you have some Amazon Blurple LEDs, that may not be your answer.
RH, in a small space like a closet, will naturally come up as the plants respire. Again, usually removing it is the problem.
There may be a limited amount of things you can do to maximize this grow depending on your circumstances. Ability to control things like heat, RH, light, etc are the things you use to maximize your grow, but you will still get flowers even in less than perfect conditions, just maybe not as many or as high quality as you were hoping. If you have the budget and space, we can help you get your environment better - really depends on you. Either way, plug on with this grow, you will learn a lot from it for sure.
FWIW - I do not see anything that is an emergency. Overcorrection at this point is probably your biggest enemy.
Where are you going to flower? In the same space?
Kanna,
I love the idea and the really compact footprint. I do have a couple concerns for you if you want to listen to a little constructive advice.
First, I'm really concerned about the sheer amount of cubic feet you are working with. It appears that you will only have about double the vertical space your plants are currently using as a final point. Generally (cultivar dependent) plants are going to at least gain a couple feet between the time you flip from veg to flower and harvest. For me, that is conservative. I don't see where you have that kind of space to work with.
Also, I'd be concerned about the lighting being capable of flowering. But if you add more lights you will probably then be chasing heat issues.
Have you seen the bonsai weed plants around?

(not my picture)
I think you are going to need to do something like this to get any kind of usable flower out of that equipment. You will want to start researching low stress training and start planning your grow right away. That pic is from a clearly advanced grower who is pushing the envelope as to what is possible. That will be quite challenging for a new grower.
You may be doing this for stealth reasons or simply don't have the space, if so I get it. If not, there are really cheap and effective ways to make a larger space for yourself. That way you can get a couple "normal" grows behind you before you get all high tech!
i would also suggest starting on your trainings.(lst) low stress training or topping
LST is the picture that was posted by Moe. By bending the main stem and tying it down will make the plant to go sideways and allow more light towards the lower which will get the lower branches to grow.
topping will give you two set of new branches which will become part of the main stem later in veg and flower.
I would suggest to go the LST route
update us with pics so we can assist you. problems occur faster in a small space.I have covered my net cups with a piece of cardboard and my roots have grown a lotsince I have done that. And I have been looking in to LST and I am going to try and train them to go outward.
I am at work right now, I will upload some pics when I get home.update us with pics so we can assist you. problems occur faster in a small space.
