Hello people! First off I would like to say hello and state that I am excited to be a part of this community now, going to try to learn all I can and contribute as much as possible as well!
I do have a quick question I'm trying to get cleared up, maybe I'm paranoid but I've seen several other plants that have had the life span mine currently has and they are a lot more lush and bigger than mine, therefore I want to find out if something is indeed wrong with my babies..
I potted this plant right after germination(obviously) on July 18th, July 20th it sprouted and began it's growing cycle, I had it on 24 hour light for quite a few days, I would say until it was about an inch or so tall. I then started reading more and realizing that 18/6 lighting supposedly forms a more concrete rooting system for you plants, or atleast develops longer roots.. I think I read that article here actually somewhere.. Anyways onto the main topic.
Like I said, I changed the lighting schedule and they seemed to not be effected at all by the change, I then moved them to a more remote location (my storm cellar) environment is relatively the same aside from a higher humidity range (closet was about 30-40% RH, Storm cellar is about 70-80%) I realize that the humidity jump was a drastic change for the plants and makes me believe that could have put stress on them but I'm not exactly sure.. I water them every other day which seems to be keeping them green and what looks to be healthy.. Onto my setup
I'm currently running 2 lights, a 400W MH and a 250W HPS.. The plants sit about 9-10 inches below the light, my cooling is extremely nice therefore I believe I could actually raise them up a little without the risk of burning them..
What I mainly don't understand is why I'm seeing plants that are around the same age as mine to be almost twice if not triple the size of mine? Could it be strain related? Are my plants stressed from all the changes?

Any advice would be extremely appreciate, Thanks a lot..
