All three are on their 34 day of flowering and I'm finding that the maturation process is going very slow.(might just be impatient) But all three are healthy and full, just wondering if their is anything Im not doing right. They are also all three growing at different rates. First plant is the slowest, second plant is in the middle, and third plant the most mature.
Day 34 of flowering, and barely any growth...HELP (pics)

You're doing something wrong. I'm not sure what. Are you giving them 12/12 lighting? I have plants that are 3 weeks old and well-flowered now. One thing I do notice is your pots are way too small. That can't be the whole problem, but you want to use at least a 3 gallon pot and 5 gallon buckets are even better. I wish I could offer more help to you bud, but your pictures are not popping up for me and just by looking at the thumbnails, I can't see any flowering going on.

Dude, I'm sorry in advanced, but I'm going to break your heart... Those plants look like hell. The growth is limp, they are stressed to the max, they have never been pruned, and they are in pots that are too small, with probably low quality soil from a home improvement store. I hope you are at least using liquid fertilizer, if not I can tell you exactly what the problems are, poor quality genetics from bag seed, lack of fertilizer, and piss-poor lighting. I mean, that is really bad lighting. You need to be purchasing a HID High Pressure Sodium lamp. 250+ watts. You need a liquid fertilizer kit, bigger pots, high quality soil, and some real good genetics. I'm sure the pH is way off on that thing, do you have a pH meter? That is a bare necessity.
Maybe if you pruned off all that nasty undergrowth that is getting almost no light, it would encourage flowering. I would snip off at least the bottom 4 pathetic branches.
You need to do some serious research before you grow. Growing a plant is not difficult, successfully harvesting a dank crop off a plant is another story. 40+ Hours of research online is a bare minimum, 60+ Hours of book reading I would recommend as well. I like the Marijuana Horticulture Bible, Greg Green makes one, Jorge Cervantes makes one, and they make an excellent one as a collaboration, and that has Greg Green's name on it.
It looks like they are stuck in the corner of the attic, you need to build a real enclosure for them, and create a excellent artificial environment. Indoor weed is often better than outdoor weed because we can create the perfect indoor environment, and that is the goal. We are not all blessed with beautiful weather, year around. If you are so fortunate to be in an area with excellent year-around weather, you need to get your plants outside, and start using auto-flowering plants outside of the traditional grow season.
Some more issues I see, your lights are the wrong spectrum, flowering will take FOREVER like that, you need something that is 2700K, you have either 4100K or 6500K right there. What is the light cycle you are using? The plants need 12/12 to flower.
You should post some more details so we can at least tell you what is wrong.
But honestly, you should start over, and put a real investment of time and money into it before proceeding.

LOOk, you have to get those lights on a timer. i think there could be more watts but if thats what you got, roll with it.
I would suggest getting some white cardboard and surroounding them for better light reflection, remember the more light the more bud. make sure your get a small fan and keep a gentle breeze blowing on them and removing any stagnant air.
I think you you need to turn them on for twelve hours and off for twelve hours everyday. the pots look like walmart 3 gallons, so they will work.
I would get some PH down (its orange) a $7 ph tester, even the drops kind. Buy some 0-20-20 fertilizer or something.
Then add the correct amount to a watering jug and after you fill it, check the PH, my water is ruffly 1 tablespoon to a gallon of water. My city water usually runs about 9 akaline. You want it to be around 6.0-6.5. The sun systems PH tester color code you are looking for is a yellowish-green. Red and orange is to low and green and blue is to high. you want it right at 6.0-6.5. so make sure you only add the PH down a little at a time so that you dont go to low. Cause then you would need some PH up (blue)...yes growing weed can be a pain.
Pay attention to what you are doing, it is science and an art to doing it well. some people never become good at it.
Run the lights for 56 days and call it good. By then you should be ready and all studied up on how to do it better for your next run.
You are gonna need some better equiptment. start with getting a good 400watt light hood and ballast and a fan, as well as something to control the climate better.
Good luck
