Well, I'm not a soil grower, but to my eye those cups look awfully small to be growing a plant with 5-6 nodes. I know what root structures look like on a plant with 5-6 nodes (I can see it in hydro) and those cups look really small to me.
Perhaps it's time to transplant to a proper sized grow pot?
Other than that, maybe your nute solution needs tweaking? You haven't said anything about ph, so that might be an issue, too.
