Help! I think my plants aren't growing anymore!

My plants are either growing really slow. Or im just impatient. Are they stuck this way? Is there anything i can do to get them growing again? HELP!

expand your bucket size.. when you go to transplant, you'll see the roots , also focus on getting some nutrients strictly for roots and help develop a good root system.. bigger the roots bigger the fruits. also give it a good flush.

are you overwatering? pics would help. what light are you using? soil? grow room enviroment? nutes? temps?

i don't know if im overwatering. Using a 400w MH lamp. Using soil. Room dedicated to growing. Using GH's Flora series nutes. Temps are up there because i live in the desert. But i try to keep it cool for the plants.

bucket size does not look like an issue.. it could be a poorly developed root system, even if, they should still be growing. considering you are using soil, can i ask why they are sitting in a large bucket of water? reminds me of some sort of DWC. I have never seen soil watered like that.

I think I might have root rot. Because I let the plants sit in the water like that. Its like hybrid, its hydroponics and soil. The plants wick up the water from the bottom. I think ill get some aquashield. I used to use that for root rot when I did straight hydroponics.

Your plants look pretty healthy for root rot. hmm....

what if the roots aren't getting enough oxygen?

transplant and before you add soil into your bucket fill about an inch high of perlite. that helps, but im not really sure... any sign of root rot I've seen or roots suffering, the plants will show up top.

exactly- you dont neccesarily have to overwater, poor drainage is just as bad. did you ammend the soil with extra perlite? most potting mixes dont have enough, FF chunky perlite or rice hulls work best imho. dont use perlite in the bottom of the pot- you need something heavier like river pebbles that wont rise.
how long has that water been sitting there?
i water from the top and if there is water on the tray after 12 hrs i use a syphon filter to dry it up. you dont want that water going anaerobic

what if i got something like this: www.o2grow.com, it would super oxygenate the water and then the holes at the bottom of the pots where the water is coming up from will have tons of air infused in it and the plant will get air that way? maybe?
