are you misting them?
what are you temperature readings night/day?

If they are root bound and you do not have room for larger pots, you could cut back the root / soil ball and replant into same pot. I cut mine back when I transplant them. Imo it helps build a bigger root ball.
Ledwholesalers through amazon has good quality tents for cheap. I got my tent for veg there. Their amazon store is cheaper than their regular site.

You can get a 36 in x 20 in x 63 in tent for about 80$ works perfectly for 2 plants unless you veg for 8 weeks and lst like a madman as I did. Then you might have some space issues. Make sure you get an exhaust fan though or you will have some heat issues even though your using LED.

Threw down last night for a 36" x 36" x 78" tent from Aviditi, the PTU-70. Wanted some headroom, for maybe a CFL nursery up top.
EDIT: Nevermind, they take 1-3 months to ship. Fuck that. Next best is a tent I found on ebay, 40" x 40" x 79" for $118...
EDIT: Ended up splurging for a 48" x 48" x 79" for around $150. I'll have enough room to expand a bit now.
Today I flushed with 1L (each) of 5.2 pH'd RO water, due to high runoff PH readings (~7).
Then I recharged with 500mL (each) of "week 2" strength nutes (5mL Calmag/15mL Grow per 4L, 710 ppm), PHd to 5.7.
There are definitely roots to the bottom of each container. I can't extract the plant without intending to transplant, but I checked the holes in the bottom of the square pot and can see roots through them.
No misting, temps are in the low 70s Fahrenheit.

Plants are still stunted on day 26 from seed. Look healthy as ever, though.. My tent'll be here on Wednesday, so that's when I'll transplant to bigger pots and increase the height on my lights.

Flipped over to 12/12 on the 26th to try and get some stretch before my tent arrived, came back 2 days later to see two pretty ladies maturing:
I hereby deem this "week 3" and mixed up a 4L batch of transition nutes for 'em:
5 mL Cal/Mag+
7.5 mL Grow
7.5 mL hydro Bloom
5.7 pH
710 ppm
Good that they're both female, I guess. Kinda wanted male/female to get more seeds, but whatever.
I don't expect more than a couple grams from each, at the best..

Quadruple posting for day 30 from seed!
Tent's up, both ladies repotted (were heavily rootbound) in wick/bottom aeration pots, lights hung and 36W of CFL added for supplement.

Quadronipple posting, day 35, day 7 of flower.
I gave up trying to get 'em to stretch (it's the Lowryder genetics, I think) and lowered the LEDs to around 4". CFL wattage is up to 26W+23W=49W, but I've borrowed them for some catnip sprouts and a new seed (same strain) I planted.

Funny you should ask, was just about to update! Day 42, 14th day of flower. (4 days ago)

Awwww yeah!
IME autos seem to be rather sensitive to root binding. Mine did the same (staying unusually compact and small) when i kept them in too-small pots.
Looking good now, though!

Update for day 49, 21st day of flower. Natural lighting! :0
Moved the big one over to let the small one be under the flowering light (much more red, no blue) for a while.
Height: 8" Diameter: 12"+
Height: 7.25" Diameter: 7.5" Pistils ripening already.. 
Catnip which is thriving under CFL, and my dirty-ass bong in the corner.
And the start of my new perpetual grow. Hopefully it's female. Same strain, same setup, more experience, more light. I'll get some feminized autos when I run out.
Do you guys think I should start a new thread for these plants once I get the A51 SGS-160? Or should I complete these two (using the new light, of course) in this thread, and then start a new thread for the seedling and future plants?

Day 57, 29th day of flower (week 5 flower)
Getting some discoloration at the leaf tips, from top of plant down. Seen in second pic, there's a slight browning... Could be a lockout due to N toxicity (I have some "claw" going on in both plants). Could also be a myriad of other deficiencies. Any pointers?

I think it could well be nute burn (ie high ppm). Maybe not neccessarily N, though.

Yeah your on the edge of a chemical fert burn/ which is fine!! are you using water soluble fert(easy fix/ just add plain water) or mixed in the medium fert crf/trf(little trickier, just add VERY cold water and pray
Water soluble nutes, from Botanicare. Currently feeding 25ml/4L Bloom and 5ml/4L Cal/Mag at around 5.7 pH. Haven't checked PPM 'cause my meter's battery died. They drink about 2L every 4 days or so. Roots are down into the res of the hempy pots.. Was thinking of picking up a couple of cheap, small airstones and trying a hempy-dwc hybrid..
