They must have been stunted by some def because they are way smaller than they are suppose to be. At 30 days old they should be three times that size but I think you have a great aero setup for a first time grower. If you dont mind me asking how much did that setup cost you. I was also wondering what lights you are using and how far they are away from the canopy because the lights could be the reason for slow growth, just give some more detail and pics. But good job so far man good luck.

i think the reason is my feeding it i was feeding every 6 hours untill today and some one told me i need to have the pump on 24/7 the lights are like 3 inches away everything with the nutes was about 400 and there only 2 t5s that i screwed on to a lid from a storage container and i lined it with mylar

you should throw a couple of 6500k cfls in there like 3-4 26w should do. Just a question you didnt think you could veg and flower with just those two t5 tubes in there did you, or did you plan on getting a HPS for flowering. Oh yea how about take some pics of the inside of your resivour if you can, and show what the roots look like.

i planed on getting hps for flowering and keeping my dominant one for my mother under the t5s
whats do u plug the cfls into sockets that go in the power bars ??? the t5s give off 6400 lummens each

Dont get me wrong The t-5 will work but cfls work great for side lighting and will help speed growth and also when flowering the cfls will help increase yeild because more of the plant will be exposed to the light. You can check out my grow jounal in my sig its low budget but not to bad. The plant that is the oldest of mine is 1w 2days old in my last pic and it is triple that size now and it only two weeks old, my oldest had a nitrogen and mag defficiency but it is dark green and healthy now.
