drop the vermiculite and just use perlite. perlite has a PH of about 7 just about right for cannabis

I didn't use vermiculite, I used perlite. Where do you see vermiculite in my pots?

Looking good.
What are you using water + some kind of nutes?
What is your light source?

right now every other feeding I use a fertilizer that has 6-12-6 and there is blood meal in the soil. My light source is a 400 watt Metal Halide lamp. I supplement co2 twice daily once right after I turn off the lights and once after I turn them on.

you do not need to run co2 at night. when the lights are off the plant does not take in co2

only when the lights are on does a plant take in co2. when the lights are off they breath in oxygen and release co2. just like people. that is why you dont run co2 at night. its a waste of co2

So you have some sort of soil hydro co-op there?
That is what the pics look like.
I could be wrong.

IF they are in soil they do not need nutes yet just water.
Looks like you might be overwatering a bit.

Good luck
Happy growing

We learn from our mistakes.
Thankfully these are usually fogiving plants.
