To start, I dont think you have any major issues. There are a number of reasons they
could be growing slow, but my guess is they might have suffered a little shock (if anything). They look healthy, so nutritionally you are providing what they need. My predictions are, over the next coming weeks you will notice more bud and your worrys about them will fade, lol.
So you are feeding every 2 days because the top inch or so is dry. Are you able to pick the pots up? I'm asking this, because it is a slightly more accurate way of gauging whether or not they are drinking, your lights could dry that top inch or so, leaving you none the wiser. If your plants are drinking, your pots will feel significantly lighter after a few days.
If they
aren't feeding, your pots will still feel heavy and it is an indication that they aren't happy, or have suffered shock. Cannabis is a Hardy plant and can grow in some pretty wild climates but not all strains will handle extremes on either side of the temperature scale especially when they haven't been 'hardened off' first. Roots are sensitive, cold water will shock them (FYI cold water holds less oxygen and locks out nitrogen).
To answer your flora nova question it depends on whether when you say 'dirt' you mean soil or a medium similar to dirt ie coco? Do you have both ppm meter and PH meter? If you have a ppm metre what ppm is your water?
I used to run flood and drain tables lucas method with flora nova but since, I have been raided a couple times and have destroyed my feeding schedules (damage limitation).
I used to keep it around 1200ppms my water in uk is over 400 ppm! I would recirculate for a couple of weeks then dump it. It gave me the chance to see if my plants were taking up nutrients as the ppm drops. Give me 2 minutes........
