What kind of light is it? either your light is crappy or you are seriously lacking patience and/or going crazy.

There are a few things that can cause slow growth, including: cold temps, being rootbound, or lack of additional nutes (once the existing soil nutes have been exhausted).

my plants were hugley stunted by growth because i did not transplant them, and i did not have nutrients for them. they plants need to eat to survive. like a person. if the soil does not have any food for them, u need to add that food by adding nutrients

I realized that I didn't have the right lights. I started over I now have 4 26 watt 6500k cfls. Two plants growing they are 3 weeks old about 5" tall. Is this enough light for two plants. Ill have pics soon

4 26 w are enough to start plants on but at 3 weeks you should be adding more lights. As you'll be getting ready to flower soon i'de invest in 2700k instead of the 6500k to save you money later. Try and go with big wattage bulbs as well - more lumens compared to heat. I really like the 68w but I hear the 42w are nice as well. If you keep the lights really close and have good reflective material also kept real close then you could prolly get away with 200w total for flowering but i'de encourage more. Im running 388w and getting great buds. Hope this helps!
