I have two little girls that have not been growing like I anticipated. I have them on an 18X6. The lights are two T-5 grow lights on the sides and a set of 40W cool blue above, florescent. Like above mentioned they are a little over a month old, they are both Ak's and were about 2 and a half inch clones. They are in seperate one gallon buckets and are watered every other day with nutes, and sprayed twice daily by bottle. The question I have is should they be bigger? And is there anything you guys think Im doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated!:leaf:
I can also post pics if that will help..

they won't grow fast under T5 bulbs the only way you can get a faster growth is if the lights are realy close to the plants just move the lights up so that they will grow taller

The T5's are on each side, I have some younger clones on top, on a heat pad with a set of cool blue lights above them. What do you think should i revamp the setup, turn on my co2 yet or what?

for the plants on the bottom I would take the T5 bulbs and have them above the plants becuse then they will grow taller , if you have them on the side they won't want to grow taller because the light sorce isn't above them and its beside them. remember , plants grow twords the light sorce. and Co2 is for flowering only. What is the tempature in your grow area?
