They look loke they need more light - which is kinda crazy if you have a 150w MH, 4' fluorescent, and a T5 on them. I would say get the lights a little closer, and try to contain the light with some sort of walls.

Also make sure you are not overwatering or overfeeding. Those tend to be common mistakes.

What kind of soil / nutes are you using?

Ok so thanks for the replies and I'm back for more advice I haven't been using nuts as I was correcting the mistake of too much nuts lol stupid but leasson learned what I'm wondering is should I continue to let them go without nuts as they are doing great since I stopped them readjusted the lights again and all is well should I just let nature do its thing?

Yes, let nature do its thing. Don't fiddle with them too much. Some soils don't need feeding for the first month anyway. Look over the stickies in the plant problems forum and learn how to read your plants for over/under feeding.

Ok so I had nut burn and had over watered did as bf told me to against what I knew as there is no argueing with him when they became sick and discolored he realized how little he knew (he killed first crop) it is now not touching them thank god and these pics are after correcting them they are pretty old actually couple months the growth just kinds stopped for awhile that is what had me baffled the stickys are what got them through their sickness I agree all noobs read before posting questions I just thought I'd ask for a broader range of opinions so thanks all ill just sit back and let my babies do there thing happy growing all

Oh and about watering I have no schedule I observe them several times a day I don't tell them when they need water they tell me when they need water ends up evey 2-3 days and I only water til I get a drop or to that has run through as most RIU post I read advised this way

I know this wasn't your question, but after seeing the pics, I'll have to add another vote for more lighting. They're looking awfully 'stretchy' and lacking light intensity. It could be something as simple as light positioning, so it'd be a good idea to check into it. Otherwise, it's time to add more. :)
