these are 2 and a bit weeks, stopped growing and got root bound so I put them in these 7gals. using a 600w MH on 18 hours, temps 68 in the day/6hours and 73 over night.. using plagton lightmix under top layer. they just won't start growing. im not sure if I've under watered or over burned?

Actually not bad for just a bit over 2 weeks, being root bound is what slowed them down, that's why I always start off in 1 gallon pots and then when the time comes I put them in their final home pot...why do I start off in 1 gl pots? less chance of over watering and less chance of getting root bound...I have done tests by starting some plants in solo cups and some in 1 gallon pots and the ones in 1 gallon pots always did much better.
So what size container did you start them in? what were you feeding and at what strength?

All they need is more time.. You saved them with transplanting...
