These are already 5 weeks old. At first look I would've guessed they've been over-watered, but they've only been watered every 3-4 days and by that time you can stick your entire index finger into the soil and it is bone dry. The soil was ph tested and it is somewhere around 6.0-6.5. They just recently started receiving half dosages of Foxfarm GrowBig every other watering. Light is 600w MH for 18/6 and the temps are around 77-81F always. Plants in the last grow were almost 2 ft tall by this time.

Looks stunted. Using anything besides Grow Big? The FF feeding schedule says to ALSO add 1 tablespoon of Big Bloom/gal. in addition to your Grow Big. They need those micro-nutes.
Also you might want to recheck your Ph. The nutes will change them. You dont want to lock out your nutes. Other than that, try reading the FAQ pages in the ling at the top of any page.

I had a similar problem, plants started drooping and turned a darker green. They stopped absorbing water and then died. I was also using fox farm nutes. Never figured out what the exact problem was. Going to start over and see how it goes this time.

The feeding schedule didn't really say to use that until the flowering stage though. The ph was checked after the nutes were added.
