Height issues

Hi guys,
I've been growing three Big Bang 2's now for about 5 weeks on 20/4 light and so far the tallest one is only 8 inches, hasn't grown in about a week and appears to have started flowering. (although I could be totally wrong, this is my first grow) I did have major temp issues for the first 3 or 4 weeks, so I'm think that might of effected it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

They're under a 600W HPS lights, PH level is at 5.6, I'm using Canna A&B nutes, they were on 1/4 strength up until today when I switched to full strength 40ml/10litres. the hydro goes on for about 10 minutes every other day. I don't know what you mean by ppm?
When I first started temps were in the high 90's for about a week, they then dropped to around 89 but have stabilized now at 73-82 & the humidity is typically around 40%

It looks as though you have a indica or very indica dominant plant so they may play a role in height also around weeks 4-5 my plants usually slow in height and add on some new growth and after that they take off.Heat really doesn't effect growth rates just fucks em up a lil bit.In another week or so you will seed a big height increase so don't worry your plants look healthy.

a jump from 1/4 strength to full strength is a bit of a shock to them. ppm is how we measure how much nutes are in the water.

let me know how these turn out. i wanted to grow big bang 2 but i got free seeds.

I've not started to feed them the full strength yet, I was going to give the tank 24hrs to settle. Do you think I should maybe water it down some what?

a lot of people do it different, so whatever works for you. most people do it 1/4 first week, 1/2 second week and full strength 3rd week and so on.

we use less nutrients in hydro as the roots are always soaking in the nutrients

Ah okay. I'm using Wilma 8 and the info sheet it came with said it should be used for 15 minutes twice a day!
I've just diluted the water and turned the pump on, hopefully I'll see some major growth in the next few days!

I have the air flowing 24/7, at the moment I'm using a 5" fan pulling 280m2 an hour, I think I'm going to up it to 6" this week coming.
