Don't follow you on the 45 day/seed 2 week veg., do you mean 2 weeks into flowering?
Maybe they need bigger pots? They look healthy from what I can see, although at 45 days from seed you should be seeing some sex, or close to it. I'd pot up if you have the space, and keep doing what you're doing. They'll take off when they're ready. Taller isn't necessarily better, I think I'm going to have to top this one.

They look good! Are they autos? What strain is it? There is no stretch, so your lights must be good. What are your temps? I went from Chemdog (an inch a day) to Blue Dream (an inch a week if I'm lucky), so I hear ya! I think for me with BD it's too hot out right now.

Your soils look good ...see to your tempes ensure they are up about 75-ish and Rh, about 55-65%, so that just leaves the light...?

avoid sativa dominant strains until you got a handle on this to my blog:https://www.rollitup.org/Journal/Entry/12-week-grow-sceneario-cervantas.29407/

They look like 5 gallon pots to me. I bet you didn't transplant into a smaller pot before going into the big pots. When seedlings first go into dirt they spend most of their energy building up a large rootball to support the plant. So your seedlings are spending weeks growing out the roots before they start true vegetative growth. Next time use an intermediate size pot before going into the final pot. You won't spend so much time growing roots and will have more time devoted to growing bushy plants. BigSteve.

Everything sounds good...sounds like an ideal set up. Most likely they are growing, you are probably spending alot of time with them and just not noticing. Usually if theirs any slow down of growth ontop is bc there is alot going on down below the soil (of course in a healthy state, which they look like they are very healthy).

Seriously!? Something is definitely amiss. Your plants look great but 45 days from seed?!
I got plants 20 days from seed that size...
Were they overwatered in the beginning? Strain?

Sir KK

Edit: noticed big pots. hopefully slow growth is jus from lots of root activity...

they are 3 gallon ( im a drywall taper i go through 30 5 gallon buckets a week and have stacks of emptys in my garage so i know for sure they are not 5 gallon there like just a bit bigger then half of one so im guessing about 3 gallon ) i started my seeds in the pellets that expand with water then i transplanted into pots about three times the size of a solo cup and just two weeks ago i transplanted to these wich i thought would be big enough to finish in? anyways im starting to think the pellet might be whats wrong?? it seems like it could be kinda like almost chocking it or something?? idk but i do know i wont be using them again, and the strains are grand daddy purple and pineapple exp......
