Vinegar to drop pH, or the juice from citrus peels works as well.
Young plants do not need high nutrient concentrations. Dilute whatever you're using to quarter strength.

so its ok for the stems to turn red????.....o and now the 2 top leaves are turning yellow ....i lowered the ph to 5.6-6..... any help on my concerns would be apreciated

Your two top leaves are turning yellow. Are the veins in the leaf still green? This hints at magnesium deficiency or lockout.
I'm hoping it's just the DWC system you're keeping at pH 5.6-6.0. In soil you want to keep pH around 6.0-6.5.

Red can come from temperature or it can come from lack of macronutrients. the pale green leaves with green veins hints towards the magnesium and sulfur. Add epsom salts.

Also make sure you don't have excess calcium in your water.

They look fine now. But what's with the white stuff on the leaves in pic 2? Are you foliar feeding the plant?

I have had problems in my DWC systemsfor A while now also! But mine are almost 3-4 months old and are almost A 1'1/2- 2' tall and in 5 gal bucket's and are looking like crap.... I am seriously looking into going back to my E&F tray for my mother's, I used my tray in the past and never had problem's and I was using crap bag seed then. But now with the new strain's I have and the DWC thing's just are not going as well as I had wanted.
