your plants are suffering from heat stress.....10 inches is to close for a 1000 watt dual arc bulb at this stage... move it to 24inches. a ph of 5.5 is to low for soil......... raise it to 6.2-6.5 gradually . ocean forest does not have clay balls in it but i see them in your pics.....did you add anything else to your mix or water that u forgot to mention ?

you need to start your own thread. not only is this proper board etiquette, but you'll get more looks and responses as well. to do this you post in the Plant Problems - Cannabis Forums Message Boards - Medical Marijuana, Cannabis Club, Dispensary, News (http://boards.cannabis.com/plant-problems/) section. just hit the "NEW THREAD" button on the top left, just above the listing of posts.
like SC said, your pH is WAY off. also, did your rinse your hydroton before adding it to your soil? hydroton, if not rinsed can cause pH issues.
what size pots are they in? when was the last re-pot?

clones?... of what?...swamp grass?....if roots are not growing faster than leaves?...many problems.
Fluoro tubes would have been a better lighting source...IMO....save the 1000 MH for later.

if you got a 11000k MH bulb?...there's your problem...:wtf:...you nuked it, with UVB; at 10 inches, away
you needed a 6500k MH bulb, now during veg...and a 3000k MH bulb; later, during flower.

Don't known how to take your response" Swamp grass" yea for sure that is what I am trying to grow. The plant that I got them from is looking killer now Buds the size of your forearm.Those plants are about30 days from the day they were cut. This is the first time I have ever tried to grow They were in 4" pots till 5 days ago when I put them in 3 gal pots. When I transplanted them roots were all over the place in the 4" pots and they were under fluorescent lights .
