Not sure, but looks like you need more light maybe? Either way, get the foil off like previously noted. Paint flat white, or use some fairly inexpensive plastic you can get from say a farm feed store, black on one side white on the other.
Just wondering why it looks so thin. Has good close nodes but kinda skinny I think. Maybe over-watered and under-lit? Not saying I know what you're doing or anything, just outside point of view that's all.
Happy growing!!

Thank You All!!! I had not turned my light on yet for these pics because my 1000 watt HPS makes lines through the pics. I will raise the little ones to height right now. Tell me why im taking the foil off and why do the walls have to be white? Thats my closet im growing in. Can fans blow directly on plants? As you can tell this is my first time growing.............
Foilisn't as reflective as flat white paint, I wouldn't worry about it though. Yes you want the fan blowing directly on the plant so that the stems are flexing in the breeze slightly, this toughens them up. it also helps the "breathe" here's a chart for light height.

The middle sized ones are clones right?
Thats how they look like.
Either that or it might be a male.
Males seem to grow like that to me.
And the big one looks really good,
I can see its a female,
great job.

Yes they are both clones. The big one is Purple Haze the other Sour Diesel. I read up on Diesel they say it grows like a skinny christmas tree. Must say i loved smoking it so thats why I got it. Hope its a survivor

They also say that the crinkles in the foil will create something like a small ray of light that could focus on a spot of the plant and be too bright or burn apparently. Also could just reflect the light somewhere inefficient. More crinkles, more light going places. Reflective white is great. And apparently mylar is supposed to be the best. Too expensive for me.
As far as wind. Let it blow. Obviously don't let it blow them over but the more they move the stronger they are!!!
Good luck!!!

Look outside. See how the bushes leaves flutter and the trees sway every now and then? Thats what you want your garden to do. A single moving fan will be fine, medium speed, blowing at the bottom of the light between the plants to eliminate the light heat at the same time.
Dont worry about painting walls if you have just a handful of plants. A 20 foot piece of white mylar to staple up real fast would only cost you $10-$20 or so which wouldnt be unwise at all, but not necessary.
Move the lights as low as they can without the plants tops being hot. How hot is hot? Hold your hand at the top of the plant. If your hand feels hot, move the lights up. As the plants grow, move the lights proportionately too.
Water the plant in picture #5 less. Its leaves are droopy looking because of that. When you water the plants, picture stuffing the plant your watering into a cup. Then water that much water to that plant when it starts to dry out a bit. Easy as cake.
Good luck.........

completely agree!
Look like not enough light or they arent close enough... and i would suggest some LST for those seedlings before they get all scraggly like the bigger one... what are you running tempeture wise in your grow area?

Foil stinks, and air is your friend.
Great circulation is just as important for your plants
as it is for you. Just don't have the fans blowing directly on your
leaves. I always have a good exhaust fan (if it's strong enough, don't always
need an intake fan), and a fan keep airflow circulating.
I'd also keep that 1000w as close as you comfortably can to your plants without
burning them. They look a pretty stretched.

Here they are now. Thinking I should flower soon because the clones are 2 feet. Just wanted the widows to reach atleast a foot.
Any tips,advice would be appreciated.

The tall ones look like shit............
The smaller ones look fantastic, whatever your doing to them, keep it up.
Flower whenever your ready to really. You know your ready when the plants are 1/3 the size that you would like them to be when they are done flowering. They generally will at least double, and some triple their size during the 8+ weeks of flowering........................
