They look like the pH is off. From the internodal length, you may be able to get the light closer. With proper cooling, a 175w bulb shouldn't be more than 8" from the plant tops. This allows for about 2" of growth before they get too close to the light.

The leaf size and shape appears that your plant is a sativa dominant hybrid...if so, they are probably going to be taller than busshier...but....you can bush them out by topping or fimming. Bet your light closer too. Do a search to find more info on this. Check out threads on plant diagnosis to get some info on the black spots.
And if they've been in veg dince 11/15, when are you going to flower them?
 
Thanks for the advice, but oldreefer-your saying i should put them under my HPS right now? It hasnt even been a full 2 months...

We veg our clones about six weeks and that is enough time to top them twice, producing 5-6 colas. A 250w bulb will only support up to about 1.5' of plant height so letting them finish at over about 18" would be a waste. Most plants will grow to somewhere between twice and three times the size they started flowering at. Even with the smallest plants that grow the least in flowering, you wouldn't want to veg them over about 9-10" before flowering. Topped plants will finish a little shorter than untopped ones
 
hey your spots could be a magnesium problem if your ph is to high magnesium disapates below or 6.5 usually doesn't so check ph of run off water, after is goes threw your soil.. And like everyone said top them and lower your light always keep the light no more than 36 inches from top no closer than 12. And i would also get a bigger light if you can. we do usually only go 6 weeks in veg but if you want more keep topping 3 to 4 time once a week and let get bushy. If u can just bud those while your grow new ones...Good luck its all practise.
 
Okay well i took everyone advice and topped my babies, i do gotta say i hope this works becasue chopping of the best looking part of the plant was a tough one, i did alot of research and picture hunting along with all of yalls advice and this is what i did. I topped all of my babies aceppt 1... i know i probably should have done it the other way around since its my first time n all buy w/e fuck it. I really hope i did this right... i topped them last night right when they woke up and i plan on watering ether when they wake up tonight or the next day...im just judging by how perky the leaves are. PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT THEY THINK....DID I EVEN DO THIS RIGHT? IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO DO? PLZZZZZZ LET ME KNOWWWW

You can also do some LST...that will make them bushier and expose more budsites to the light... Here are a couple pics of my girls:
