Don't water the leaves. Lol.

As well as they look, plants don't like the water on their leaves. That's why they're shaped and textured as they are, to try keep water from getting trapped on the leaves. Naturally water can only find its way to the plant from the rain. But since you can water the soil without watering the actually foliage, you'd be better off that way. But them plants look beautiful, good job!

They look the way they do because they have been FIMMED in their 3 weeks of vegging. Not because of the spray feeding.

their looking good. but also do not spray the leaves. water the soil. Water intensifys the heat from the light and causes to burn but i dont think it will burn much becuase the lights are a little far so i think their ok. ohh and one tip. NEVER spray while flowering becuase YOU WILL get mold.

Looks good man. You should set the pots of the smaller plants on top of something so that the tops of all the plants are even, this way they are all getting maximum light. Otherwise, your younger plants will be very stretchy until the grow to the height of the older plants.

Also, I'm assuming you have your light raised all the way up to take pictures. If your light is permanently at that height, find a way to lower it or raise all of your plants up higher. A fan over the tops of your plants will help keep them cool, build stronger stems, and aid in preventing pests and disease. I would say it is one of the essential parts of all grow rooms.
the light is 2 foot away i have a ac unit in the room and a fan so plenty of air being moved in and out. thats how a ac unit works it takes fresh air in and the hot air out. i have them at 2 foot cause the light is hot as fuck and they will grow into it so say they will be flowering at foot and a half from the light. could be better but im not to big on moving stuff around alot cause i check them when i get off work so im tired. the ones that are the second biggest are some ice bomb
so we will see how this strain is. its a new strain by bomb seed

I understand not wanting to move things around, but you will see a substantial difference in growth if you drop your light an extra foot. If the light doesn't burn the palm of your hand after 30 seconds, then it won't burn your plants. find that sweet spot and the growth will be explosive. At 6 inches away, a 400W HPS puts out almost 64,000 footcandles, at 12 inches away, your only getting 16,000 foot candles, and at 24 inches (where you have your light now) your only getting 4000 foot candles. that is 1/16th of what you could be getting. there's no point in having a 400W light if your keeping it that far away, turn it off and put some cfl's right on top of the plants until they get taller. You're pretty much wasting electricity right now.
well i have 200$ worth of brand new cfls that i did some grows with i upgraded to hps for more room to move around with instead of having wires out the ass. i guess i can move it down another foot as the plants are starting to show more pistle growth. thanks for your input will have to see if i get some better growth.
I didn't say they look like that because of spray feeding. Did you read what I initially posted?
