I use alaskan fish fertilizer for veg and hydrozyme and roots organic and novagrow

They ain't growing to fast,, what should I do to increase growing time? Wait? lol

I use a 600w, 400w, and a T5 for Veging. Maby I should just not grow them so long and turn them earlier?

Is that a tent trailer? Secure light leaks. Flush and reset with a nice veg tea with beneficials. Yellow color all leaves= mobile not fixed problems. Flushing helped me hope it helps you. I did 24hr for days and never got good roots. my new tent 18\6 4 weeks veg blew my normal away. SLOW DOWN AND SPEND MORE TIME WITH THEM AND THEY WILL PROVE MOTHER NATURE RIGHT! good roots big buds

You might want to consider getting the inside of that a little more empty . What is your to manage humidity and light in an empty space laminar flow is important for air too if you don't want to over kill it with fans. The bingo reference was like an obvious trailer park old person sport reference laugh out loud. Have a good time keep it green

Nothing is perfect in nature that's why we use GMO (genetically modified organisms).
This is a direct quote from Ed Rosenthal whom most of you know is a marijuana growing guru:

...marijuana plants photosynthesize as long as they receive light as well as water, air, nutrients and suitable temperature. Photosynthesis is the process in which plants use the energy from light (primarily in the blue and red spectrum's) to combine carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and water (H2O) to make sugar while releasing oxygen to the air.

Plants use sugars continuously to fuel metabolic processes (living) as well as for tissue building. The plant combines nitrogen (N) with the sugar to make amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. They are the substance of plant tissue. When the light is off, the plant's metabolic processes, respiration and growth, continue.

The plant can photosynthesize continuously so it produces the most energy and growth when the light is on, continuously. Continuous light does not stress the plant, which reacts somewhat mechanistically to it.

Plants under an 18-6 light-dark regimen are producing sugar only three quarters of the time. They are thus growing at only 75% of their potential. Leaving the light on continuously will result in bigger plants, faster, which leads to higher yields."

In my opinion i believe plants and equipment need a break/period of darkness to be truly healthy. people are of the view that the plants become completely dormant at night, i have read a few studies that support the view that certain biological and chemical processes and reactions are completed only when the plant is in this stage of darkness, even if we do not see these processes... I believe 18/6 is a far more proven cycle, gives the equipment a break ect for this reason in my opinion it is the way to go. Look at any of the legendary growers they all use this cycle not the 24 cycle.... this is just my opinion, I'm not a biologist and haven't conducted any true scientific studies to support this view but it makes sense that the plants get a period of darkness in nature so i would give them one indoors after all that is what we are trying to do indoors create a perfect natural environment....
