Hey, I have a question for DWS growers. My plants have been in the water tanks for about 1.5 weeks but are growing very slowly, and the leaves are drooping down. The color of the plants looks healthy, though. Also, there is a white slime forming around the roots (pH: 5.8).

slime is bad. sounds like your getting some root rot. The slime is choking the roots out not allowing them to get oxygen. Could be from
1 Light leaks - Light is bad and should never hit the water.
2. Oxygen level - You need air stones in your water or a water fall to oxygenation the water.
3. Heat - Anything over 20C your getting into the danger zone. Try keeping your water below that.
