How do these 4 week veg look? First Grow

Just looking to get some feedback. They had stunted growth due to temp issues while seedlings, it looks like they came back pretty strong. I'm running a 1k MH for Veg, and will swap for 1k HPS for flower. How much longer should I veg them for? I'm shooting for the 16oz total. They're in 5gal bags, but I didn't fill them to the top...so I'm thinking maybe 4-4.5gal.

I have a Critical Mass(Mr.NiceGuy), BlackBerry(Nirvana Seeds), Urban Poison(Nirvana Seeds), and possibly a Blue Mystic(Nirvana Seeds). I mixed everything up on accident lol. I have 2 Jock Horror Auto in the back, but I will count them out...the stunt really fucked it.

the 3 in the front have 4 tops, 2 in middle/right should have 8 soon, middle left untopped.

Don't mind the squash, I' starting it out for the garden :)

Sorry for bad format and what not...I'm stupid stoned off some Jack Herer with my new vape :bigjoint:
 
How high do you have your light? What is the temp and humidity in the room? They definitely look stunted but you will be surprised how quickly they will grow with more fan leaves.

When the plants are big enough, put more soil on. The roots will grow up. Don't worry about covering the main stem as roots will grow out of that as well.

What kind of soil and nutes are you using? What is the PH of the water?

I'm using FFoF, and I'm using all their Nutes. I gave them their first feed of half strength nutes 2 days ago. I didn't ever check to PH of my water, I should probably get on that. My temps are usually 85, not more than 90. RH around 20-30%, I spray my plants to every now and again to insure tips of new growth do not dry out. My light is 20inches from the tops.

They didn't really do much growing till a about 6 days ago. They've doubled in size since then.
 
Try to get that temp down about 5 degrees and get that humidity up if you can. Humidifiers don't cost much but if money is a problem, soak a towel and put it on the floor or something. Replace it with a clean towel every day or two. You want around 60% humidity for vegetative growth and 30-40% for flowering.

You want to check and adjust your water PH. This is very important and is overlooked by many new growers. You can buy a PH kit for short money http://www.amazon.com/General-Hydroponics-GH1514-Control-Kit/dp/B000BNKWZY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368392079&sr=8-1&keywords=ph+test+kit $15 and comes with everything you will need to get you going. You want to check your PH after you get your nutes mixed in. You want to shoot for about 6.5 PH. Improper PH can also cause stunted growth.

You could probably also bring that light down a tad. Put your hand right over the tops of the plants, if it feels hot and uncomfortable after 15-20 seconds, your light is too close, if not, you can bring your light closer to the plants. The closer you can get without burning the plants, the better. View attachment 2653695View attachment 2653696 You can see from these charts how every inch counts.

The two things you really want to concentrate on right now is PH and humidity.
