If your temps are too hot it will slow growth. Sounds like with four 1000w lights they are putting out some heat. If your temps are high try bring them down with fans and more ventilation or possibly a A/C. You might think about using CO2 as well. I would also check pH and ppm. Also if your temps swing more than 10 degrees between light and dark cycles can slow growth as well.
I am doing 36 of them all in 2 1/2 gall. pots which are plenty big. My temps light on are usually 74-81 and lights off its like 65-72. I have not used Co2 which could be the issue but aside from spidermite damage they are all pretty healthy aside from bottom leaves yellowing but that normal. My biggest is only like 24-25 inches. I even vegged for a month and a week trying to make them bigger. Think its too much nutes. I think im gonna switch to reg. water only for awhile... Any other ideas, tnite im putting in 6 homemade Co2 of yeast and sugar. Do you think thats enough for 36 plants. Check out my most recent gall. pics they are all pretty much that size still.

You would be better of foliar feeding the carbonated water and a spray bottle for C02. I would definitely flush with a mild nute solution and make sure my pH is good. It could be a build up of salts and they could be nute locked.

It's just plain soda water. Water with CO2 in it. Club Soda, you can get it at the grocery store or liquor store.

thats a wierd situation, it it be there is not enough air circulation in the room or maybe your growing space is to small?

I grow hydro so i am not too sure but i believe i have read that you should flush with 2X the volume of your pots and use 1/4 strenght nutes or plain pH adjusted water if you grow in soil or soilless mix . For hydro i use distilled pH adjusted water with a hydro flushing solution added.

i would flush with just regular distilled water. no nutes when you flush

Do you have a pH meter? From what you typed it sounds like maybe a nute lockout or even root bound?

I use Ozarka distilled water and every time i check the pH is at or around 5.8 with a ppm of 0 right out of the jug. I would use distilled water to flush with.
