Here are some more pictures.
Now this may be a silly question....but I'm assuming since they are green, not turning any colors and are growing rapidly that means I am doing everything correctly?? No need to change anything up with the way these plants look, yeah?

Wow I didn't expect that great of a response, thank you very much.I notice that considering that these were grown from seed,the have no stretch at all and look very healthy,i had to look twice to check to see if they were clones as you have minimized stretch so well,imo they are doing very well and everything seems perfect,good work
And yes they are in fact grown straight from seeds, all four plants. I had thought their stretch was in fact quite minimal...I've never had a set of plants grow so compact. (always have grown from seeds)
So is that why typically my plants never looked like the short compact plants I had always seen pictured...because I grew from seeds and probably I was seeing pictures of clones?
by the way:
these plants are (2)white rhino and (2)blue mystic purchased from Nirvana.
all comments or suggestions are welcome, this is my first hydro grow so help if you can and would like. TIA

Conditions are as follows:
Grow room 4x4x7 = 112cf
Temp is kept at 75deg. exhaust fan is run always at 265cfm. Intake fan (which is piped to pull air directly from outside...so air coming in is always fresh) runs constantly as well at 110cfm. This creates a negative pressure room.
And there is also an additional circ. fan in the room as well pointed up at the light blowing the lamp's hot air directly towards the exhaust fan.
water = 15gallons of distilled water, changed weekly
ph = don't even bother monitoring it (haven't seen the need to plants are doing fine and distilled water is completely stable as far as PH and EC, CF, has a low PPM and has no chlorine as it hasn't been treated like your tap water is) and on top of the fact I use 15 gallons of water to 4 plants and change it weekly...my ph won't fluctuate enough to harm the plants in a week.
using 10 to 20 gallons of water was recommended to me for small home growing, for the simple fact that more water that is in your res...the less things can fluctuate in the water. Reason is, if your plants use say 1 gal. of water a day, 1 gal. out of 15 gallons has less impact on your ph and TDS than losing 1 gallon out of 5gallons.
light type = sylvania 400w MH on 24/7 off...never
nutes = I mix fox farm's grow big for 8 gallons of water, cal-mag for 6 gallons of water, and liquid karma for 6 gallons of water....drip system is run all the time at 4gph
and there is (2) air stones in that resivior as well.
Not sure what you are doing wrong if anything at all....but I can say this, I have been told by my local hydro store that I am creating almost perfect conditions for my plants. I.E. plenty of light, fresh air, and no excesive heat or cold.
BUT YOU ALSO NEED TO FACTOR IN THAT WE ARE PROBABLY NOT GROWING THE SAME STRAINS...YOUR STRAINS MAY NOT EVER GROW LIKE THAT NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO RIGHT OR WRONG

Your plants look well healthy dude,i only grow in mud in a cupboard(lol) so mine aint never gonna look that good,but it looks like your doing a great job to me,i am interested in the end result on your blue mystic from nirvana and wether or not you think its as good/nearly as good as proper blueberry,i will wait to see what you think after youve harvested to decide wether or not to get some,at the moment im definately gonna try some hashberry but i would like to add a bit more blue into my stuff,anyway props for the beautiful babies looking real sweet

I cannot see even the slightest bit of yellowing on even one leaf,whatever your doing keep doing it mate because those plants are very healthy looking,they have bushed out really well in a very short time.
All you have to hope for now is that they are definitely females,i really hope they are.
If they are females are you gonna make some clones or continue to grow from seed?
Anyway i will keep dropping in to have a look as im looking forward to your review on the blue mystic if its a female,i only ever had 2 blueberry seeds in my time and they were both male,i did let the pollen spread onto my females though,but i would like to fertilize a proper blue female with one of my own hybrid males,so i wanna know what you think of the blue mystic because there so much cheaper from nirvana than buying original blueberry.
Peace props to your growing skills
