The plants have been very slow to grow. At this point last time with this cultivar we were already switching over to flowering. They are not even half way there yet. Then they started looking like there was too much water in the buckets. After removing some water and no improvement, I started doing some digging around on what may be the issue. Turned out to be Nitrogen Toxicity. I removed half the nutrient rich water and replaced it with regular pH'd water. The plants bounced right back and are looking lively again.
