This is the first time I have attempted a fermentation. I decided to start with a cheaters hard cider using 1 Gallon of Dole apple juice and 1 full pack of US-O5 Yeast. It's fermenting at 65°F - 68°F ambient temperature in the room. At first my yeast sank and after about 10 minutes I noticed a little bit had began floating into suspension. It has since began developing gas as evident by the airlock but the head seems weak. What do you think?
How does the head development on my cider look?

All's well. Cider doesn't build as much krausen as a beer would, there's less proteins and such. Also, some yeasts build more krausen than others. In the same beer, one yeast might look just like yours and another would climb out of the fermenter.
