I am growing in a 6 pot deep water culture system using botanicare CNS17 Nutes, ph=5.4 temp is 72. I am also using 2 LED panels from ledgrow.eu, growing 2-Sage-n-Sour, 2- G-Force, 1- White Haze and 1- Snow Ryder. Everything is going pretty good with the grow that i am 3 weeks into. I have one little issue with 1 of the gforce and the White haze. The gforce is stunted, it popped and I planted it has just stopped growing. It has one set of leaves and its just sitting there with no growth. It's not drooping or yellowing. The White haze grew about 5 inches tall and has stopped also with just two sets of leaves. I will try to post some pictures later today of the grow to get a better idea what i have going on. The other plants are growing great. Any ides what could be going on? Thanks in advance.

How many runs have you used the LED system with? My experience with them has always turned out fairly negative. Light intensity was never strong enough to get serious growth response. If everything seems in order, and this is the first time using LEDs I would venture a guess thats the issue.
Yeah,,and me personaly I would raise my PH to 5.8. I have ran DWC,,and my plants loved the PH floating from 5.8 to 6.2.
5.4 just seems a little low to me. Your temps are nice.

there's nothing wrong with a ph of 5.2 as long as the ph swing is consistent. for instance, if you change your res every 10 days. if you ph to 5.2 and by the time the 10 days is up, and the ph settled at 5.8-6.2. then you wont see any adverse effects from beginning your ph that low. its all about knowing your grow room. which only comes with experience
