mine are two weeks old and are about that size, but that doesn't really mean much. If they are green, they are prob. o.k. give em time.

U should veg until they are the size u want that will Lead to the yield u want. As a rule I always veg for about 5 weeks but I can look at a vegging plant and guesstimate how much it will yield. That takes a few grows but u will get to be able to do that too. Just concentrate on growing healthy plants and urs look good even though they're small for their age

Just bring the lights down lower. Those plants are small and the distance between the lower leaves and the upper ones isn't that much so I guess I'm not understanding why you want to bring the lights closer. What are you vegging them under?

That's the way it grows. It's normal. I think you should be vegging under floros not 750w HPS. that's an awful lot of power and it's a waste for one or even many plants when they're that small.

Would they grow better under floros? and is it to late to switch for like 2 weeks?

It's not too late to switch and the thing is floros can be moved much closer so it's a more effective use of energy. If you are going to veg another round of plants after this grow think about buying floros. If you're just doing this one grow then stick with what you have.

How recently did you move them from the soil? It could be that they are getting ready to burst after the transplant. The HPS will cause some stretch so getting the floro's nice and close will help to keep them shorter.

Don't worry about the rate of growth. Just try to grow healthy plants.

This is the truth!!! I used to worry about growth and color and ......... I had a hard time!

I quit stressing over the plant and started focusing on the roots and BAM!!!! I have somewhat decent plants now!

The plants were transplanted at different times , the really short bushy one was first and seems to be doing the best besides the height of it , IDk maybe im just paranoid because its my first grow, what Im really worried about besides all this is sex because everyone pretty much says male plants are useless

They are very small for 5 weeks, esspecially in DWC. What do the roots look like. I strongly disagree with the "If it's green don't worry about it" comment.

Something isn't right with them. They look sad. I'd guess it is the lights or the amount/quality/strength you're feeding
