First Grow: Please Help Me Relax!!!

Can somebody settle me down???

I have had these clones vegging for 10 days now under 600w hps (with plenty of distance... They are looking pretty healthy, but not growing impressively. The largest is 8". Smallest 5". I feel like I should be flowering by now. How much am I jeopardizing (in terms of bud size) by triggering now.

Sorry for such amateurism (but thank you for understanding the angst).

Hi Greene..

MOst growers have serious angst during their first grow.. very normal..

Have you clones rooted?
What medium are you growing under?

cheers

have flowered 9 7 inch clones under 400 watt of enviro an got 12 oz wet,eac plant was from 1oz up to 2 oz. best of luck.

with plenty of distance? I'd lower the light maybe? are the plants reaching for height, or what? also, maybe your photoperiod is wrong?

indicas double in size and hybrids or sativas will tripple or quadruple (should have listened in school) when u go to 12/12..

give them some grow nutes if u want them to grow..

and have the light 1.5 feet from tops of plants with fan blowing between lights and tops of plants and in a week move to 1ft away.. the more light the faster better they will grow..

what strain u growin??

Thank you all for the input. It is greatly appreciated.

Strain: Strawberry Cough
Medium: Soil

They are on 18/6 at the moment.

I have 3+ feet between the tops and the light. I thought that the babies were too sensitive to under 2 feet... Is that my problem???

This might sound ridiculous:

How do I tell if they have rooted? I just transplanted them 4 days ago into 7 gallon. Most of them had decent root balls, but now that they are in their final pot, how can I tell?

Thanks again!
