I planted these about 2 weeks ago and they aren't really growing that much.

I think the problem is the fert i used after about one week.

It is called root & grow
4-10-3

I only added about 4 tsp to the 1 gal water chamber

Also i am using a 600w hps light. The light is 4ftish above the plant.

Anything you guys ?

Basically they have not been growing for a few days and the yellow in the middle of the leaves is just scaring me.

Well, you might've over fertilized, or you're lighting isn't too good.

Put them under a couple cfl's and rinse them real good with a flush, I can't give that good of advice with so little info. HPS are best for bloom, you can get a much better spectrum from flourescents.

Looks like you are doing a hydro grow which is real easy to over fert early on, but I don't believe that is your total issue. The fert you used has the wrong npk ratios for young vegging plants (your fert is a bloom or flower npk) and it doesn't look like it is made for hydro or soiless grows. At this point you need an npk ratio that has a higher nitrogen content. Get yourself some food that is specific for hydro because it will have everything you plants need to live and thrive. Good luck

I think I am going to sell this light today and get some high output fluorescent lights. But i did flush my plants today and the PH is at 6. So at least my PH dropped and they look to be getting strong in just a few hours. 2 of the roots started leaning yesterday but now they are getting better.
