Thanks mate, yeah there were roots across the bottom, I have the nutes bubbling into the bottom of the net pot to encourage roots down into it.

She's growing fast now, topped her the other day, side branches are already forming, there are roots hanging down from the net pot, removed 2 shade leaves that had yellowed, I bought a new pump, the seller of the DWC system is giving me the run around on the refund for the faulty pump.
Hi CoCo_LoCo the EC is 1.7 or 1200ppm which is high but the plant is loving it now that the roots are down in the nutes not just in the rockwool block, there is no more yellowing and no sign of nute burn.
The high ppm is due to the Great White beneficial bacteria and fungi as well as the Cyco Zyme enzyme additive and the molasses to feed them, the nute level is 1/5 of full strength as on the bottle or 2ml per liter.

She's grown a lot under the 2x 20W batten fix LED lights, I have just taken them out and she is now under the Phytomax 2 400.
Hi gatts, she is looking a lot healthier now that her roots have grown down into the nutes.
The seed was Bruce Banner from ILGM.

Looking good man.
Thanks Brother Nature, she's starting to grow through the scrog net, I have now got a small clip on fan going blowing against her.

She's grown a fair bit in the last week, she's starting to fill out the scrog net, she has shown some rust spots on a couple of leaves but overall is healthy.
She's drinking about 2 liters a day.

She's grown a fair bit in the last week, another week and I will flip to 12/12, she is drinking 3 liters each day, no more calmag deficiency.

Vertical height is 45cm right up to the light, I probably could have had the scrog net lower, oh well next time I will get it right.

Looking good 
consider some defoliation or lollipopping on the inside of the plant, I can see some potential areas where a nasty microclimate may develop once those it starts flowering and transpiring even more. You can leave the outer leaves alone if you get rid of the big ones on the inside.
Right before the lights come on, check yuor plant, open up its structure with your hands and examine the places where leaves are touching and overlapping... if you find moisture on the part that was covered, that's what I'm talking about
You have only 45cm left, and the light cannot go higher? Or the light can still go higher?
If it cannot go higher you realistically have about 20cm of growth left. If that is the case, I'd top them vigorously and prune loads. I mean taking off the top 20-40cm.
I have done this to absolute EXTREMES.. if you send me a PM I can show you some pictures that will convince you that you can remove as much as 70% or 80% of the plant today, and start flowering in a week.
Sorry if Im preaching to the choir...
I know what its like to do your first grow and be confronted with all this shit about defoliation etc haha. I always just wanted to let them grow, no fuss. Mildew and bud rot are unforgiving teachers.

Thanks for all the replies.
I decided to do something extreme and cut her down to half size to make more room for buds, I now have 55cm between the light and scrog net, here's a quick pic;
And a quick pic showing the space for growth;
I can't believe it my ph went up to 7.7 and ppm to over 3000, I flushed as best I could and redid the nutes, she still looks healthy.
