Hi all! 
I started my plants 19 days ago. I kept them in a humidity dome just in rock wool for about 14 days, and moved them into a DWC set up 5 days ago. They maintain about 70-80 degrees with 50-60% humidity (which I keep high with a humidifier in the tent, because it's really dry and cold where I am right now). I have the DWC at 150ppm, and have been misting them 2-3 times per day with 130ppm water. My pH is right around 5.5-6.0 I think, I'm currently using a color drip test to figure pH because something is wrong with my pen. The water in the res is probably 5-6 inches from the bottom of the basket, is that too far? I also have the lights about 1-2 inches from the little ones.
I was cycling the lighting 18/6, but recently decided to change them over to 20/4 after doing some reading into photosynthesis. Is this an okay change in my veg lighting?
These pictures are from today, I am really worried about the girls. They haven't grown really at all since I moved them into the DWC, aside from some new very tiny leaves. The roots also seemed a little flat when I moved them from the humidity dome into the DWC, but I assumed with water underneath them the roots would just bounce right back. I'm still not seeing any roots, how soon should I see them coming out through the hydroton? The leaves also seem to be very droopy, especially on the Sweet Deep Grapefruit (The last 3 pictures). I've only done one other grow and I think maybe I just got lucky lol... I don't remember them growing so slow. I look at other people's journals and see at 21-28 days the plants are massive in comparison to my little ones. Are the just done? I wouldn't think so they are still green and upright, but they are producing new leaves so slowly. How can I get the droopy leaves to come back and them to actually start growing? Or am I just being impatient? Thanks in advance for the help! -Cheekshu
