Day 58
WELL!.. These girls are out of the trance and in full grow mode. Its been 4 days and you can really see a difference. I watered to today with some Big Bloom. First time in almost a week. My healthiest plant is now 11 inches. Probably going to give them a week or 2 and then switch to flower. I have learned so much on this first grow. The next batch should go way better. Some Pics..

Is it possibly to run and HPS and a LED at the same time for more coverage area or will this confuse the plants?
Go for it 
you won't bother the plants one bit with both led and HP's, just watch your temps! As for clawing of leaves this is an indication of over feeding. Just ease up on any nutes for a bit

Day 62
Sigh. I cant believe I made it to week 5 of Veg. They look healthier then ever. What a relief. Okay, so i did some pruning to let the light in and help out the smaller undergrowth. I think Next Sunday I will put them into flower mode. Here are some pics.

Thanks Pinky lol.
I finally got in my soil ph tester and all my pots read 5 to 5.5 now I have dolomite lime in the mix already. I been running my water at 5.5
Could this be the reason I haven't been getting explosive growth? Obviously they're healthy plants now. But I'm wondering if I run my water in at say 7 that it will help in any way.

During the later stages of flowering a pH closer to 7.0 - 7.2 can be beneficial as Phosphorus and Potassium, along side cal/mag become more readily available to the plant. It also slows the N uptake.
However, this can lead to salt build up if the N provided isn't monitored. Also deficiencies in Iron can become a problem, but generally flowering is finished before it's an issue.
But As pinkygreen said, 6.5 is the optimum range and to be honest the best for a healthy harvest.
