I'm not sure what you are trying to say. How can the plants be both "too bushy" and "not growing"? We need more info to be able to help and answering the following questions will help you get better advice
- What medium are you growing in?
- What is the size of your tent or growing area?
- What are you running for lights (brand and mode help), and how close to the plants are they?
- How often are you watering, how much, and at what pH?
- What are you feeding, at what dosage, and how often?
- What is the temperature and humidity in your growing area?

They need more light in my opinion
I am using 3 gallon fabric pots Fox farm ocean forest soil Fox farm trio for nutrients I've been going really light on the nutrients plants are about 6 weeks old they were cloned rooted for about a week before I got them they were growing I put the scrog net down open them up a lot of new leaves grew in the center where I opened it up then I had to take the scrog off because it wasn't on correctly and the plant closed back up so now there's a lot of plant material shaded out in the center of the bush and they stopped growing I have been watering about 2 gallons of water spread out between all three of them every 3 days or so when the top two inches of soil gets dry. I have two beds of a thousand watt LEDs that pull about 205 a piece from the wall with both veg and Bloom switches on 20 inches from canopy
I have over 40 Watts actual watts per square foot of canopy you don't think that's enough for veg?
Plus I have 2 Sansi 26 watt bulbs in there also. I think that's the name of them

Ehhh it’s not much. What’s the temperature?
I have also been pHing my water between 6.5 and 7 always under seven. Temperature has been with lights on between 77 and 83 degrees lights off it was getting a little chilly between 57 and 63 degrees for a couple weeks since then I've raised the temperature at night when lights are off to about 72 degrees lights on 77 degrees past few days humidity stays between 30 and 50%

Slow down and get some punctuation in there. I’m not giving you a hard time...that was just very difficult to read.
They probably haven’t stopped growing, they are probably replacing leaves that were removed. 40-50 watts per quart foot is what is usually recommended for COB LEDs and 50W+ for blurples (IIRC). Have you tested the soil and/or made sure they aren’t root bound? The shouldn’t be in that size pot but its always a possibility.

I was under the impression that because their fabric pots they can't get root bound. I thought they get air pruned.
