It is with great grief that I have some bad news. In short, the plant died.
I went out on a business trip and the plan was that I was going to be away only for a couple of days. Unfortunately I came down with a fever and couldn’t travel again for a while. As this was a stealth grow, I had no one I could trust to watch over the plant while I was away
By the time I came back, the reservoir had run dry and the plant shriveled up. It was at the point of no return 
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t super frustrated since everything was going so well for my first grow. But after a bout of depression I realized at least I learned a lot during this grow and I’m somewhat excited to try again.
For the next grow I’ll be doing a more robust bucket design and I’ll be adding timelapse videos so look forward to the next one!
