If you ph is good i'm wondering if they need more nutes....they're pretty big for 1/4 strength. I grow hydro so I'm not sure....there are good soil growers on this site who should be able to help you.

Good luck

They do look a little pale to me, and for six weeks under a 400 they should be nearing 2 feet in height, I'd say keep doin' what you're doin'; just up the nutes (mainly nitrogen) and drop the light some, they'll take off like rockets.

Thanks for the replies!
Do you notice any kind of trace element def.? I lookin at the leaf structure and they seem awfully spiny,or notchy,and kinda have a canoe shape?? Hard to describe.

Go fox farm's website and there recipe for there soil . . you need to be adding big bloom too. . sounds funny considering you are still in a veg cycle but there a great micro nuts in the big bloom . . . check the website or just ask and ill post it.. . .

Same exact problem with my outdoor grow. I don't know what to do. Have you resolved this?

Have you got plenty of air movement (i.e. a fan), i had similar probs when i grew once ( plants that were way smaller than they should be at that age) i found that plenty of fresh air (not jus air from the growroom itself, but air pumped in and over the plants from outside the room) seemed to solve the prob. good luck though!!

nitrogen nitrogen nitrogen......they look hungry...

they are very light in colour, and i wonder what your lighting is as well....

nice temps..i find 78 is ideal, and you are right in there...

i would suggest, in my opinion, a ppm pen......i find they work very well along with the ph tester kits...

good luck, and let us know what happens after you give them some nutes, and if there are any other problems...

Thank you for all your replies!
Yes, I gave them a half dose of Grow big 2 days ago, and they love it!
My lighting is an aircooled 400w mh, so I think they get enough light. But it is starting to wrm up here weather wise, so day time temps in cab. get to 83-84degrees f.
Need advice, what feeding schedule would you recommend? I to am thinking a full dose next time round, but should i give them a watering in between feedings? Or will the plant tell me what they need?
Oh, I also started lst'ing them last night and some of them are starting to smell
Peace
