Growth Stopped

I've got a couple plants vegetating for about 2 months. They were going along ok but seemed to stop growing in height. The main leaves kept coming and the lower buds started filling in, so I am left with a lot of leaves and little height.

Anyway to increase the plant's height? Other then stretching them by moving lights?

Nutrients? Increase the pot size?

I am using 6 100 watt equivalent CFL's, no nutrients and the pots are pretty small.

Thanks.

2 months is along time to veg. are flowering them now? your not going to be able to flower plants that big with those cfls, do a small SOG or get a bigger light imediatly.

Check this place out. If you get some better cfls like 3 of the 105 watters youll be ok.
warm colour for flowering.

how tall are they?
what pot size, plants will only grow as tall as their pot (not literally but small pot=smaller plant)... and dont bother transplanting now its too rootbound, flower them now.
you need nutes...
why would you want them to stretch??

There really small thats the problem. They are less than 7 in tall and tons of leaves, could just be the structure of the plant? this is the frst grow so I'm not expecting much. I'm thinking my plants got nute burned too early from the miracle grow but I'm just trying to see what I can do to keep them going for some sort of yield.

there might be a few things wrong here.
1. nute lockup
2. pot size, if your not using 5 gallon or more than thats the problem.
thats just my opinion.

waht type of mg are you using..you can use mg its just not the best, i use mg moisture control soil and it works fine for me..i think its your pot size..if there in small pots and they just stopped growing its definatly the pots..the roots need room to grow

and yes you could be right about the structure..whats your strain?

Yes you can use 5 gallon pots for smaller plants..it depends how long you veg for, thats what determines the plants size..like in sog you dont veg for a long time thats why you use smaller pots

You have been sooo helpful thank you. Its definitley my pot size, its not even 1 gallon. I am going to switch pot sizes, flush the plants for a week, and change soils. Sound reasonable?

Then, I will see how they grow, perhaps get a few more lights and then get into the nutrients being sure to check the ph the water so its 6.5 before adding them. Sound good? Suggstions are welcome! Thanks so much.

Would it be worth it to flower them until I see which of the 4 are female and then clone it so I don't waste my time on my second attempt? And, I could try to flower it anyway just for the a trial run?

If you want a big plant that yeilds alot then transplant into a bigger pot like 4 or 5 gallons then veg it for 1 or 2 more months, or you can sex your plant early then if its a girl go back and put it on a veg time then just take clones from that( aka mother plant)..if you want a smaller plant that wont yeild as much then transplant it into a 1 or 2 gallon pot and veg for like 2 weeks longer..good luck

Can I clone once I switch to a 12/12 cycle?

do you have a recommendation for soil I could pick up from like wal mart or something? I cant seem to find fox farms anywhere and think I should avoid anything with built in nutrients as that caused some problems earlier.
