hey all, this is my first time growing and have been reading the internet for months, its hard to find ppl to help with this sort of thing.
ok so, i started these from clones about half way through december, all was goin good.. i switched the lights to 12/12 on 17/1.. they were around 400mm high...
its been well over a month and still nothing.. also ive just noticed some of the lower branches have deformed/ tiny? leafs on them...

the ph is 6.5, i havent given them any nutes since the potting mix has it.... but i did give them a feed last night.. so i will see how that goes... what does everyone think? if u need more pics just let me know

ill say it again but its rly hard to find help with this sort of thing.. the few ppl i know who say they "know" seem to be no help...

thankyou

Um you probably need to feed them unless youve ammended your soil yourself. Theyre probably starving. Are they emerald green or limeish yellow? Also you may have russet mites. Are they in your area?

its really hard to get a good diagnosis under that pink/purple light. Can you take a few pictures in normal white light of the curled up lower leaves?

Wow those buds are tiny. Try bigger pot. What LED light are you using. Maybe try a 400/600w HPS?

Drooping stems and dying tissues in those areas shown could possibly indicate broad mite infestation. Plants tend to show more negative symptoms when suffering from a combination of issues combined.

Here some links to helpful products for managing broad mites

what soil is being used? what is the NPK amounts on the package? What other nutrients are in the soil? what additional nutrients have you given?
