Thanks everyone I believe the plants are looking better now its been like 7 days. I am watering with spring water Ph'd around 6.2-6.5 with 1/2-1 tsp of molasses per gallon. . I think i may of loosened some of the roots up with a soil ph/moisture meter probe thing as well. Anyway i think it helped since they are definitely root bound. Anyway, looks like the plants might be turning around. Even the one that wasnt showing any THC and had huge cola's is now starting to show some THC, hurray!

Thanks everyone for your quick replies and extremely useful info that so far seems to have saved 5 months of effort. Other websites i posted on everyone said to just chop it down. Rollitup is the true place to get info on growin.

Hey man I was too stoned to go through your whole post,
flush your plants 3x water for the amount of soil you use and use 1 table spoon molasses and renute.

Also your CFLs too far away, they need to be 2-4 inches from the leaves, otherwise they aren't as effective.
Nice lookin setup tho.
looks like u got about 3 weeks left, trics need to turn milky color, not clear.
It's well worth the wait Bud.
Welcome to RIU
just saw this post.. yeah the cfls are too far away... get them like a inche off.. but i see you are running hps as well i can tell cause of the effect the wave length of light in some of the picture.... whats the temperature in there???? has it become a problem recently as the plant stretches taller?

Yea man get them lights closer. here is a tip, get some aluminum screen from hardware store, and cut it into lamp coverings. Wrap bulbs in screen and pinch edges to bind it. Keeps the leaves from touching and you can get right up in on em.

Like making a lightbulp cocoon.
