Yeah, DWC always seems to get a slow start for me. I think it is a product of the 4-7 days it takes for the root to touch the water. Her taproot is already touching the bottom of the res today.. Also, it is not yet being fed. I will start it on 1/8 strength solution in a few days, and then work up fairly quickly to 1/3 strength. Right now she is still just in the original res with nothing but tap-water with RapidStart (and some Zone, but that just keeps the res sterile).

DAY 12 UPDATE:
She is coming along nicely.. I am changing the reservoir, and feeding her for the first time.
Feed was (into 3 gallons of water) 5ml grow, 2.5ml bloom, 2.5ml RapidStart, 6ml Cal Mag, .5ml Floralicious Plus.
1.5ml DM Zone.
PHed to 5.6 for the swing..
Basically, it is 1/6 strength. I use the following feed chart. I use the categories on the left like "Early Growth" or "Mid-Bloom" As a guideline, but base it on the actual signs the plant gives me rather than paying attention to the "weeks" mentioned in the chart.
Then, using that ratio, I adjust for what strength I want. If I want 1/3, I mix one gallon's worth of nutrient solution with 3 gallons of water, and adjust as I think it is necessary.
Here is the feed chart I am working from.

DAY 18:
Fresh reservoir. Between 1/4 and 1/3 strength solution. Had a ph dip that gave me some calcium spots.. No huge deal. I am thinking I will do some pony tailing and some bending to get her ready to be tied down this week.

DAY 24:
Bursts of growth over the last several days.. I have been bending her to get her ready to be tied over. She is screaming "Bend me over, Daddy!!" and so shall it be, before we meet again.
Peace

Tied down and manipulated..
I removed a few fan leaves from what is now the bottom, and bent and tucked until I got close to the shape I am looking for. Over the next few days I will change the reservoir and bump her up to 1/3 strength nutrient solution. Then, I tuck and wait for the stretch before we bust out the scrog net.

DAY 26:
She didn't skip a beat. Recovered from the tie down/trim within hours. She looked great all day yesterday.
I tied her down a bit more today. Just to get that light inside.
Here is a before and after.
The recovery after being bent over and trimmed a little..
And the new LST work..

Now is the time that I need to get as much height from it as I can. Hopefully it will stretch enough to get into a scrog. I will know in a week or so. I'll keep tucking as needed trying to keep light on the inner/lower sites to get them to stretch through the middle. With any luck she will stretch all the way into preflower. She is showing the earliest signs of preflower now, so hopefully this LST will have her stretching like crazy for the next week.
