1000 watts you say? that seems to be stretching a LOT, or is it just the strain? also why does your leaf formation only have 3? how much are you feeding them?

Thank you all for replying, I got some mixed feed back. Some say looks good for 3rd week of bloom others think it should be doing better.
I know I screwed up in the begining on the light times and was using cfls then up graded to hps.

It don't look bad like something wrong with it, but like Rusty said it's not thriving thriving. How big of an area are you doing with the 1000 watter and how far is the light from the plants? It's not real stretched just a little maybe again it not real perky and it's not drooping. What's running nutes 2x week? I usually water every three day water once feed once feed once. Any ways here some of my perkiest I ever grew 2nd week flowering 2 400 watters~

I just raised the light to about 2 1/2 to 3 feet above them and the space is about 4x6 with milar on the sides. My soil holds water so next time I will use fox farm ocean from the start to allow soil to dry faster. using general hydroponic nutes.
This is a great site and thank you all for the help.

With the light you wanna have 50 watts per sq. ft. the 1000 is good for 20 sq. ft. your room is 24 sq. ft. this is 41.6 watts per sq. ft it shouldn't be a issues but for the plants farer from light. How old is the bulb they only last so long some growers replace them every 2 or 3 grows at the most. If you use the ffof don't try to start you seeds off in it cause it will burn them.
