post a pic.... please..

things to check.. watering ? make sure you flood soil.. then let tope 2-3 inches becfome dry... daily watering is a NO NO...

How is the ppm of your water.... tap water with 100-200ppm can really slow a plant down.. and then kill it.. especially if you are hydro...

What color are the stems?

How is your ph?


9 inches sounds small for 6 weeks... what kind of light are you using? It should start growing at least an inch a day...

good luck : )

Yes, PH and water schedule are important. Are they yellow also?

One classic cause of leaves "clawing" down is too much nitrogen. I had this problem on a couple of grows before I figured it out. How much food are you giving them?

Let us know the feeding schedule...
