How old are they? They do seem to be looking good though.

Have you tried 18/6 light cycle? IMO the 6 hour dark period does them good, and they may grow a little faster. I know mine did when I compared them to my 24/0 plants.

7-4-10 is the ratio you would need in veg, miracle grow is just not well suited for cannabis.

ya im gonna try n get my timer goin and give the 18-6 a shot, also i belive they are just about 3 weeks, i could be off by a half week or so ethir way tho i never really figured out when i planted em, andalso wonderin where to get a ph tester that actually works for under 30 bucks if possible

Ebay! I got the one that tests soil ph and moisture. Hasn't failed me, and it was only $11.

i would suggest ph-ing your water, before you put it in the soil. in which case a milwaukee ph600 is like 20 bucks on ebay and should last about 6 months.
