I have a pl 2000 and I used to struggle with stunting and with me it was the light. Pl 2000 I suggest 24" @ 50% in veg and no closer than 18" in flower and increase gradually. Try work on 20-30w/²' veg upto 50w/²' in flower. Also I see you are giving 24hrs. Two things are I feel the plants need a rest from the light especially if too close. Look into dli. Personally I'd dim light, back it up a bit and give her 4hrs sleep. Hope this helps

Hey there, Seems like your plant's not quite reaching for the stars yet, huh? No worries, let's figure this out together: ▫️Too Much Light Think of your plant like a sunbather. Too much sun can leave it feeling fried and stunted. Maybe give it some shade or adjust the lights a bit. 200 to max. 500 PPFD are advisable in the vegetative phase, always increase in small steps. ▫️Wrong Light Spectrum Different stages of growth need different kinds of light. It's like giving your plant the right outfit for the occasion. For healthy vegetative growth, you need a cooler light with a higher blue component in the spectrum, a so-called "vegging light". Light with a warmer, more reddish spectrum is used for the flowering phase. ▫️pH Levels Imagine your plant as a picky eater—it only likes its food at a certain pH level. If that's off, it won't munch on the nutrients it needs. Grab a pH tester and make sure it's in the right range (fertilised water and drainage). ▫️Root Issues Roots need to breathe too! If they're drowning or not getting enough air, they'll hit the brakes on growth. Make sure your soil's not too soggy and has good drainage. ▫️High Temperatures Your plant might be sweating it out a bit too much. Cooler temps could give it the chill it needs to thrive. They currently have 27 degrees/ 78 fahrenheit right now, maybe an adjustment to 24-25 degrees might suit your plants genetics if it prefers lower temperatures Now, about your journey with your plant—don't stress! Growing takes time, and every plant has its own pace. Enjoy the process, stay patient, and before you know it, you'll be celebrating its growth together. Hope this helps!
