How long did you veg for? Roots grow slow when flowing, you want to make sure you have good root mass before you flower.
Have you been checking ph and ppm? maybe you have salt build up in your soil? plants look a little stretched, maybe put the light a bit closer.

I veg until plants are 18-24 inches long and I PH my water to 6.2 every feeding.
I'll be using oregonism XL every 2 weeks.http://www.hydrofarm.com/pb_detail.php?itemid=8201

Okay cool. When I transplant my cuttings I water the soil very very slightly before poking a larger hole in it then i lightly work the rooted clone down into the hole and then sort of get the soil worked on top of the root system. So far I've had success, hopefully I'm not damaging the roots (knock on wood). I guess time will tell.

Good question, I cant believe I completely ignored it.
I acctually start losing fan leaves around week 3 and it continues until most of the fan leaves die and it will start on bud leaves. Sounds just like an N defficiency right?
I PH my water to 6.2 and only flush when the runoff goes above 6.4. I made a post about it days ago and was told to switch fertilizers. I did that and the N lockout seems to go on just not as bad. I got pura vida grow 6-4-3 feed water water feed and pura vida bloom 2-6-6 with molasses, feed water water feed.

Water them from the bottom. No packing, and promotes growth.

In my unexperienced opinion, you should use much larger pots. You should also have the light a bit closer.

how can I need bigger pots when they dont even use over 2/3rd of the container size as it is? Did anyone see the size of those roots? They should be about 10X that size. When I pull a plant out of the container after harvest there should be thick white roots wrapped tight along the bottom half of the container on the verge if not root bound. Any grower who has had successful harvests can tell you this.

is it possible its just shitty genes?
Even ideal conditions wont help some bunk bloodlines.

when u have them in smaller pots why dont u try just spraying twice a day rather than pouring water. This will make the roots grow a nice system and slowly make their way down the soil. Then when you transplant they should be ready for normal watering.
Remember not to pack the soil too tight (as has been mentioned so many times) and it should be ok.

I water from the bottom also. It promotes deep root growth with not so much packing. Or you could goto coco...thatll help w/ the root prob!!
