As the title explains, the roots are growing slow as hell and they are 42 days from cutting and the growth is terrible.
Refer to this thread to see them at 30 days, 1st day in 1 gallons.

I am doing the super soil method of 1,3,5. Meaning 1 gal@30 days from cutting to 3 gal 2 weeks after that to 5 gal until harvest with super soil feeding each transplant. Yea it sounds like a lot of work but its not.
Anyways. I think i have narrowed down a few ideas that caused this. But i am really unsure.
The first fuck up i think i did was feed them the SS too early. After 5 days, these clones were showing crazy roots, so they went into solo cups day 7. After 3 weeks, new growth. So at 30 days, they went into 1 gallons. At this point i DO understand that they are fragile. Upon leaving the solo cups and entering the 1 gallons, they are insanely root bound....i was impressed. 4 of them i used super soil in, 4 of them i did not. There was a bit of burning and dying going on in the 4 that got super soil, and very LITTLE in the ones without. 3 weeks later (today), 1 week later then i was supposed to, i transplanted 2 of them into 3 gallons....Well, taking them out of the 1 gallons, the roots didnt produced for shit and most of the soil crumbled back down to the size of a solo cup where the roots were entangled and where basically at the same progress.
In the pictures i will provide, you will see fabric pots and air pots. This is an experiment i am doing fabric.vs.air so i dont want to get you guys confused. The rest will be going into fabric pots. Just the 2 are air pots.
The 2nd thing that might be causing this, again still very unsure, is being that i am using fluorescent lights, the room is maintaining 65 degrees. it is -10 degrees where i live right now and to avoid low RH i didnt want to use a space heater....
and 3rd, is it possible that they are stunted so bad because they are just plain lacking light? They are getting about 28 watts per right now, and 8 watts per in the cloning area.
I know this is a lot and most of you wont read through it, which is understandable, but it was worth a shot. Thanks
