Is my setup good?
Im a new grower and this is my first plants to make it this far. I planted all outside in the early summer hoping to grow outdoors. After a while outside, they seemed to stop in growth so I decided to move indoors. I currently have my plants under 2 flurecent lights (very close to the plant) on a light schedule of 24/24. I believe I have been over watering a little so I'm cutting back on water right now. My biggest plant is only 9 inches for some reason?? I know it should be a lot bigger... I'm feeding it Miracid once a week now and the soil is very compressed, what could I do to make better?? Add new soil?? Also my pots are 6 inches by 6 inches, should I look into bigger pots?? By the way, the temp is 75 degrees. All help is appreciated.

i suggest more light, bigger pots, and an 18/6 light cycle, moving on to 12/12 when they are about twice that size. Also try a better feed, (ie. Bio-Grow). Good luck man.

If you do decide to move to bigger pots I would be extremely careful. You have already caused stress by moving from outside to in, and moving pots would cause more. I would say for now those are good size pots. How many watts are the 2 lights you are using? On watering just make sure they arent super wet all the time. Wait till a little below the surface soil is dry and then water slightly.

Well the other day I changed the soil so I don't know if I caused to much stress? When I was finished with the soil, I watered it a little too much and the plant looks very droopy... I took a pencil and made holes into the soil hoping to give the roots some air, for some reason the soil is still very wet... I'll get pic's in a little while.

I suggest more light possibly depending on the wattage of the ones you have. on a 16/8 cycle. STOP OVERWATERING thats really killer on em. you really shouldn't have changed the soil, thats actually more stressful then you probably imagine. As a matter of fact since the plants are so small i would have started over instead of changing them from outdo to indo.

Those plants look kinda sad. you need more light with a cycle 18/6 not 24/24 (what is 24/24 even? 24 hours light 24 hours dark?), less water, and a fan blowing on them. I suggest you read up before your next grow http://www.sharprubberduck.com
