Ok so I took the suggestion of this board, and decided that for whatever reason the 250w hps was not being very helpful as my main source of light this early on.

I went out and bought 3 of thoe 150 watt spiral flourescents (2700lumens apeice), and Put one on each plant.

I have not used the 250w hps for past 1.5 weeks.

Things are looking up in some respects and still having troulbe in others.

The good: There has been ALOT of vegetative growth these past 2 weeks or so. They are really starting to branch out, I can see new growth almost everyday. Nothing spectacular but WAY better than before.

But...

1) All my plants appear to have stopped growing in height for the most part (They weren't really growing in heigh under the hps anyway). They are slowly growing in th height as they veg out, but that is about it. They are about the same height now as they were 2 weeks ago.

They pretty much all grew the height they are at in the first week or so, and then stopped at that height. I don't get it.

2) Plant 1 (w1.jpg 4 weeks old) Is the best of the lot and also my first. It looks healthy its lush, green, and veging. Smells friggen fantastic and skunky.

3) Plant 2 (w2.jpg 3 weeks old) Has a couple problems. I just transplated it last night. It was fairly root bound in a plastic cup (Roots has circled around the bottom a few times). You can see that some of the leaves have foled upwards (I am hoping this was because of the root problem, and will not go away, but you can also notice that discolored spot. I am sure some of you can ID the problem there, hopefully.

4) Plant 3 (W3.jpg 2.5 weeks old) leaves became fairly twisted about 2 weeks ago. They have not corrected themselves yet. Also there is a bit of curling on some of the leaves downward. Also the new growth is looking slightly deformed imo. Any help here? It seems to be spacing its vegetation out nicely (Better than my others which are very clumped up).

5) Plant 4 (w4.jpg 2 weeks old) is doing "fairly" well. Its tall and firm, but the leaves have turned very pale green / yellow, and the first set of leaves are starting to curl! Rawr. Any help here?

6) Plant 5 (w5.jpg 2 weeks old) is a completely retarded plant. It germinated without those first 2 little leaflets. And have ever since been on a retarded state of growth. I don't expect anything out of this plant really. I keep it alive out of pity. My feels are if it ever even yeilds just an eigth it will be worth it. I don't really expect you all to help me out on this one...As I don't think theres much I can do lol.

7) My grown room (w6.jpg) its 4.5 feet tall, and 2x2 at the base. At the very Top I have a 250w HPS which I have kept turned off ofr the past 2 weeks. I am not sure if it keeps things to warm or what, but hopefully when these guys get a little older they will be able to tolerate it more (That is my hope anyway).

Any help/suggestions/comments are welcome. I really want my first grow to be fruitful and successful. I have been w/o MJ for 3 months, and I don't see any break in my dry spell. These little fellows are my only hope, and I worry about them very much!

Thanks.
