It'll be slow until your roots get established, then she should take off.

I have a small clone that's the same way, taking forever to really get going.

i would lower them PPM drastically or once the roots get into the rezz you could potentially have some burn going on. i have a blueberry gum that is doing great in my DWC and my PPM are less than 200 more nutes is not going to make the plant grow faster, if anything it will cause severe burn and kill them.

make sure temps in the rezz's are staying in the low 70's and make sure your PH is where it should be (between 5.5-6.5, 5.8-6.0 being the most ideal) PH will fluxuate with temps so is steadier you can keep temps the steadier the PH will be, PH goes up when the temp goes up and down when the temp goes down. (if i remember correctly, may want to look into that last tidbit of info to make sure im 100% correct)

but yeah 1080 PPM is just way too high for a plant who hasnt even developed roots out of the net pot yet. once them roots hit that hot ass water you could potentially burn them, some strains burn easier than others and some will handle anything you throw at them. but to be on the safe side i would start with around 200 ppm and raise it up like around 100 ppm every 3-4 days.
