I don't know why it's not growing but those leaves are dark, so I would lay off the Nitrogen for a while.

I don't know how old they are but they could have filled the containers with roots. Not saying root bound because it take A LOT to get root bound but MJ likes to spread it's roots out.

If you want them to be bigger than I would transplant them into 3- 5 gallon buckets, veg for another week, then put into flower. They will surely double or triple in size when flowering :)

Can it be cos of that??
and i´m going to do like DownOnWax told me to do (bigger pots)

I agree about rootbound.I have 14 plants all under a 600 watt.Vegged for 6 weeks and now flower time.All are about 18 inches high in 3 gallon buckets.They are Dynamite & God bud and only go too 3 ft anyway so 3 gallon is all i want .Switch to 3 or 5 gallon asap and then just flower and you will be fine.Peace

i'd try flushing em and wait a few days then transplant if that doesnt help. they say rootbound but maybe its salt buildup from chemical ferts or something that stunted the roots? wait....the reason your gonna transplant is for more root room b4 flower cuz you wanna grow some monsters? sorry, i missed that part somehow. transplant right away then if u have not done so yet.

Ummm those pots are plenty big for those plants. I'm not saying bigger pots wont help but those pots themselves should not be a problem.
What are your temps like? And you RH? The front plant in the pic shows definite signs of heat stress (leaf edges curled up). MJ will grow really slow above 85 and not at all above 95.

Here are 3 and 4 foot plants in approx the same size pots as yours. If its rootbound your not giving it what it needs and its growing too many roots looking for what it wants.

So i´ve already changed the pots size and i remenber that the out side weather was aroud 30 celcious so probably that´s what it caused the all growing problem........so lets see if in one week everything is solved and if i can start doing 12/12.

Outside temp was 30C? Are you growing inside or outside? :-?
Was it rootbound or.....?

I´m growing indoor but the temperature outside was around 30 celcious, which makes some influence indoor( i don´t have air cond)
and regarding rootbound i think its too early to see cos i´ve made the transplant yesterday......or made i´m wrong :) (i´m begginer)

Well i guess if you've never seen a rootbound plant.....maybe google images? When you transplanted you would have been able to tell by looking at it. (the root ball I mean). Doesn't matter much now, i was just curious and some of the others probably were too. if it was terribly root bound you could have performed some surgery on it, but thats getting a little advanced lol.
Anyway I've seen the pics in your album, and what i saw was heat stressed plants that otherwise looked very healthy. iSo get some thermometers in there with your plants. And i mean SOME. or at least take your temp readings from different locations. you WILL have different temps in different places. the most important place is your "canopy" or tops of your plants. this is where the heat will be highest and what you need to have below 86f or 30c.
So like you said give em a week (the transplant will stress them some and they'll likely stall for a few days) and see how they're doing. In the mean time check out Superthrive. Good stuff for reducing stress from things like transplants. Peace.

Excellent! I did not think they were rootbound. They look great! Keep up with reading in here. Especially in the GrowFAQ, its an excellent resource. I go back to it all the time and always manage to find some new info. Find some good ferts high in phosphorus for flowering. When you go to 12/12 she is going to grow like a mutha! I bet you end up with 1m tall bushes yeilding 50g a piece. Happy days ahead!

this plant of mine yeilded almost that and it was about the size of yours when I flowered it. maybe this can give you an idea of what to expect. I started 12/12 after the 3rd picture...
