So i have these which have been in vege for 7 weeks and they just wont seem to grow. I suspect they were stunted and had abit of potassium burn. I dont know if i should start again or keep them. Also have these other ones which have been in flower for 7 weeks and had a 4 week vege but they just dont seem to producing. Their under a 600w light had relatively good enviroment and a good soil

The ones in flower are in 30L pots
I still think thats too small, i thought i was great i had mine in 6.75 litres and everyone was telling me to move up and honestly when i did they shot up. Its in 5.8 GAL now and some will still say thats too small.
The next thing is i see you’ve got some yellowing going on, that could be from being smothered in the pot, but it could also be deficiency OR nute burn.
Are you checking your ppms/ph and your light intensity?
You said 600watt are you using all of that? I have mine under 300w and i have that at 80%, if i turned that full I’d for sure be seeing light burn, that’ll also slow upward growth.

Okay ill upgrade tomorrow. Can you pot up too fast?. Like go too big or is that a myth. For example can i just put them straight into a 10L pot now or even a 15. I think thats from over watering to be honest still havent gauged how much is the right amount. They have a good dose of nutrients. Possibly too much??. It was my first dosage of the the full reccomended dose. The light the little ones are under is 110watts and the flowers are under the 600w. My ph is always between 5.8 and 6.4 as thats whats recommended. Do you think i should turn my light down or get a better one. At 7 weeks do i get new ones and start again?. They have solid stems and are growing just very slowly. I topped 1 week ago and they have got decent new growth from it. Why would my ones in flower hardly be budding when the other 2 are

Im sure you could pot up to the point of diminshing returns compared to the space used but i wouldnt worry.
Can i just say tho, go higher, like 22 litres at least, at least dude 
Its not so much about how much you water them but how often. In general wait until your medium looks bright and feels airy to lift. If you’re really, really not sure, leave them until you see the top of the stem droop and you’ll know she’s ready to drink. Do that for two consecutive feeds and you’ll have a good idea of how long it takes her to need a drink.
In general i always water until i see a few drips at least, you’ll find in the bigger pots its gonna be hard to gauge how much that is, you’ll get used to it after a few feeds.
Ok so the ones in veg under 110watts, dont change anything except pot size for now and see how they take. A week after topping should be a decent time for recovery, just make sure to do it on a watering day so they bounce back from the transplant quickly.
I half fill the new pot with my mix, put the current pot into it and fill around the sides nice and tight but still airy, remove the current pot and take out your plant and pop it in with some rooting power. I recommend having a second pair of hands with you seeing as you’re moving from a medium sized pot.
However, have you got a pen to measure ppm of your runoff water? Honestly i dont feel right commenting on your flowering buds without that.

Think of it like this, in nature they have no pots resrticting them, its more about what works for your space indoors

Hell no bud all these plants are saveable and assuming they’re photos you’re doing fine

A 6 inch high plant at 7 weeks? We need to study more as it looks like you have put the cart ahead of the horse not to mention stunting good seed.
Is it saveable? Yes
Would i save it? No. I would have killed it a few weeks back and called it a learning lesson.
My advise is turn the grow light off and sit back relax and start studying as your in the right place to learn how to grow the right way.
Good luck!
Okay i think i have some 20s laying round. My mate grew a 1lb plant in a fuckin 7l pot lol. Yeah ive learnt that with my flowering plants the lifting technique and i usualy stick my finger in the soil or wait till they just start to droop. I did it on a watering day it was 8 days ago now. Okay cool. I dont even know what ppm is lol. I usually just use a ph pen and measure it like that . Sorry for the late reply. I didnt stunt them it was my mate over fed them and put them in a cold enviroment with no airflow and over fed potassium (suspected). We dont get seeds here in nz cos its dodgey to have them shipped from overseas. Does anyone know why 1 plant is producing wicked flowers and the other one just isnt

Sound like photo. Turn that girl into a mother. Up pot her to 20l or so cloth pots. Cloth helps regulate moisture and allows the roots to self prune whereas plastic does not. Get her transfered. Wait till she stabilizes then clone her ass. If seeds are hard to come by thats what i would do. After the clones show nice roots plant them in thier FINAL pots.as the clones are taking the mother will fill out again. Can take very best clone and turn it to mother and flower old mother. I kept 1 gg4 bean going for 2 years. All the plants will be the same. Once you have the plant dialed in its off to more weed than can smoke. Just my thoughts. Scarce beans would make me work with the bird in hand.

They are stunted because root bound i bet. Photo can recover and explode. If was auto you would be in flower and finished with growth. Turn that vegging 1 into a mother. The flowering are flowering. Can steal clones from her also but not make her a mother. Give the vegging 1 some love and up pot.

Lst all you want… You can’t really kill a plant with LST. 
The worst that could happen would be to either severely kink the stem or breaking open the stem. If you kink the stem, just plant a small stake next to the kinked branch to offer some support. If you break the stem open, just disinfect the wound with a bit of Aloes or a drop of honey and tape the wound closed.
As far as Lst, just make sure no leaves rest against the ground so as not to encourage wet spot and mold, and have a ball!

How do you know when and what tot tie dow. How often all those things

The thing with Lst and Hst is that you’re trying to expose more bud sites to more light. And you’re trying to direct the apical dominance.
Cannabis will usually feed the highest bud/cola first and redistribute the rest of the nutrients to the next lower buds and so forth. By bending your plant, you end up redirecting the nutrients to where you want.
Check out a few YouTube videos, there’s tons on Lst…
