How tall should they be by now?

First solo grow, everything healthy and bug free with new soil with FULL SUN.

Using maxsea @100% every other day with fish on the off days (I use squid)
No nutrient burn and no salt lock..

I foiler feed all the time and use a strong tea once a week on soil and leaf.

So why are they not getting HUGE?

I had weird light issues that pre flowered but they came out.

How many weeks left of pure grow? (Im told they can grow 30% in flower "Stretch"

Can I feed way more maxsea?

One more fact is we broke up the root ball when planted, used a B1 dunk pretty much covered every issue even using a root brew for a week $$$.
I CAN SEE ROOTS ON THE TOP SOIL! SO I know I have roots.

We just started pulling down the branches and pulling leafs, they have healthy BARK on the stocks but

Our collective only ever had 2 pounds per plant but its been over 100f every day and I know they dont grow that much with that kind of hot.

Or should I just STFU?
None of the collective members that work on the plants appear worried.

IS their still time to get BIG? One year we had half pound plants! Cost a fortune!

Can I go MAX on the maxsea?

One point noted is the preflower produced HUNDREDS of tops each plant!

WONT LET ME EDIT!~

These are 2.5 feet tall. The one on the right is just transplanted and the one in the pot is a month in the soil.

My guess would be they started flowering early, Now reVegging....thats why they are growing slowly. they should pick up soon, we have 2-3 weeks left for Veg(strain Dependent)

No theres not a month and a half left....theres 3 weeks left of veg. Most plants start flowering at the start of August.
Still should be getting almost 14 hours of daylight in first of August where I live. Don't even get close to 13 until around the 20th.

you don't mention the strain. I have a sativa strain ( Arjans Haze) that is over 9 ft. tall right next to an indica strain that is only 4 ft. tall. It depends on strain, when they went into the ground and many other issues. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just keep feeding and don't try and 'force' it as you may do more harm than good. Where they topped or fimmed? this will make them shorter and bushier. ( Its what I should have done with that haze plant. I personally do not like monster 'trees' as they are hard to maintain and easier to be damaged by winds and weather. I hate having to get a ladder to examine the tops for bugs or other damage. As for plants that have re-vegged due to early planting, I've had it happen more often than not and for the most part they all where good producers.

Happy growing

Im using coco soil, Empire builder.
Toped and some femmed.
Foiler feed every so often, not more then once a week,.

Yes they pre flowered

How much will will they grow with 3 weeks and plus I get another 1/3 in flower?

Looks like another suckey year, as soon as I put them out the clouds came.
Several other less then expert people in my region said they had lots of pre flower.

Mr Nice,
cheese
blue dream (4 foot)
cherry pie.

should I be bummed out?

Can they still get 2 pounds? (hundreds of tops from the pre flower) Millions of shoots!

two lbs per plant is a little over the top as far as I can see. I generally shoot for a lb per plant in my calculations. If I get more than that than I consider it a bonus.The blue dream is a good producer and I've seen them get huge ( 3 or more lbs. per plant). Not experienced in the other strains. One thing you might consider is loly popping your plants to force the nutriants and growth into the upper colas and eliminate the smaller popcorn buds that just rob the main colas of what they need.
I'm growing Mr. Nice as well, I have six of them from clones that I took a chance on as I liked the genetics. They are short and at present about 4 + ft. with the tallest around 5 ft. They are the bushiest plant I have ever grown however, and are around the same diameter as they are tall. I trimmed off the lower branches so as to keep them clear of the ground and trimmed the inside popcorn and smaller growth in the innards so as to maximize air flow to prevent mold problems. I've had to use a bunch of tie-em-ups and stakes as well to keep the branches secure from breaking in the wind or from their own weight, although they do look to have pretty strong looking branches.
Don't know a thing about the other breeds.

Cool, I often get 5+ pounds per plant *With perfect weather* and I had bad luck plus NOOB mistakes!
My guy is estimating 2 pounds average over the entire garden.

Were pulling 10 gallon buckets of trash every other day.

I do not like failure and the 10 people I grow for will have to just settle.

All I would suggest is backing off on the nutes some...
Using too much will keep a plant from growing, while using just a little will make the grow more...
A starved plant will do better than one that is overfed.
