i switched over to 12/12 on the 9th of april... started counting from there..(total newbie) i looked back on my pics i posted on ere and they did not show signs of sex till 21st.... so by my count they should be on day 30th on the 21st... yet they are only 15 inches (2 plants) 3rd is nearly 20 inches.... i measured them last wk and no growth...am in soil under 600w hps...16/17 inches from girls...
i feed with general hydroponics 3 part flora series... last feeding was as follows...
2mls grow...4mls micro....6mls bloom...5mls cal-mag & Molasses
why the slow growth....?

stret5ching is drawn by genetics, mostly. but, how are the buds developing? that's more important than stretching

yeah, i see the pics... they look alright. nothing to worry about. those buds will still swell up, i guess. then, add some weight. seems like they are dwarfs but the buds look good. anyway, in those old pics they were in the 4th week of flower, for sure their stretching was done already by then

the plants look really good to me, sorry can't think what light you have them under

but say you have a 600w hps you want the shoots about 2ft long and the buds can grow up to 18" long and about 3-4 " thick but thats about the best your going to get

most strains will stop growing by the 4th week in flower and in the first 4 weeks the plants should grow 2-3 times there size

its not good to grow large bushy plants under hps, just a waste of time and you will pull a lower yield

its not the bulb mate you can flower under a 600w mh and pull a good harvest, your at the stage where the plant looks like its not doing anything and this can go on for weeks but i am sure the inside of the buds are filling out as we speak, now if the soil is taking longer to dry out and your water less often then you may have a problem

its not the bulb and dont flush man. the buds that you say are not growing they look healthy so they dont have a toxicity so you will only cause problems to plants that maybe are in a moment of stunt, because you say they evolve slow. so you will only make it worse.
anyway, dont worry about not stretching at this point they did had their stretch so watch the buds see how much they swell
