white rhino veg problem

so im running a 1000w hps in a 4x4 tent, my ph is fine at 6, now ther is a few things i believe it could be.

I reuse my soil all the time but it seemed fine.

i transplanted from 2galon to a 5galon and the soil still seems wet a few inches down ( i take it i transplanted with a big leep and the roots havent been feeding enough to dry up.

i didnt transplant with nute enriched water, so its been without N for about 1 week, ive just watered 2 litres of my line of nutes. (damned if i water damned if i dont)

so its either these could all be problems or it could be one of these , let alone NONE of these. Please give me a hand guys as im going with 4 plants under 1000w and could set me back greatly, they are currently averaging a 12'' tall.

I would look into getting some new soil. I always have better results with fresh soil. But that probably doesn't have anything to do with the problem. Just out of curiosity, what kind of ventilation are you using? From the pics, I can't see any fans or thermometers. Those 1000w HPSs can get things pretty toasty.

Since you've had past grows, think about anything you've changed about your setup since your last harvest. Best regards!

yup in the 1st picture you can see a cooltube, thats connected to my inline fan. I sprayed them with carbonated water for extra co2 and opened a flap on the tent and they look a bit more perky as of now. Hope tomorrrow brings good news.
