Problem: I picked up 2 clones from the local shop. One Blue Dream and one "Green Crack". I am on my 9th week and I think (probably) I did something completely wrong.
Medium/grow method: Coco-Hempy style. 2.5g bucket, coco/perilite mix with perilite bed on bottom of bucket.
Feed and supplements used: In a one gallon jug I use General Hydroponics Flora Grow, Bloom, Micro Combo to specifications they recommend. Although this part i might have repeated a couple of weeks in the beginning because i thought my plants were specially smalls. I water every 3 days or if they look like their leaves are drooping. I use a to waste system.
water source: I use tap water with the Nutrients and use a PH pen to make sure its at 6.2
Strain/age: I have one "blue dream" and one "green crack" . 85 days growing.
light used: I have 6, 22w (replaces 100w bulbs ,16K lumens)and two ultraviolet bulbs to get the light spectrum as light set up. Have a fan and filter to keep it cool. I was running 18/6 light schedule but changed it to 12/12 out of a little desperation. Keep them 4 inches from the plants.
Climate: Most of the time temp is between 77 to 86 but this week has been hitting 90 but the plants don't seem to mind.
Additional info: in the beginning (week 3) i started clipping leaves from the bottom of the branches because of a forum post i had read. Which might have been bad advice. I grow in a 2x2x4 tent. I stopped cutting anything about 2 weeks and the last pictures you will see is them full instead of the not so full pictures. Wondering if I am just getting impatient or should start a new with out being Edgar Scissorhands

if you got clones, they aren't auto's... they can be cloned, but it's pointless because the "cell-clock" inside them tell they they are some many weeks old, and sexing happens according to the usual schedule! So, you have photo's that have been veg'ing,.. from the looks, the lights aren't cutting it,.. are they horticultural types, with the right PAR needed by the plants? If not, that's one reason why,... the UV is pointless right now, no buds right? Are they UVB? .... no more trimming! That is setting them back even further,... What was the goal you were seeking by trimming, BTW? Shaping for top biased growth, so called "lollipopping"? Densely foliated plants can benefit from some trimming to open up the canopy and let light get down further to lower buds sites,...
So, that is a huge step in getting me into the right road. Ya i understand the "cell clock" now. I guess there's so much info its easy to get lost in it. They are not labeled as "Horticultural" types. just regular GE ones I read from other forums that would be sufficient for my tent and budget. I switched my light time to 12/12 so i could replace the UV bulbs with CFLs until I see buds. My goal of trimming was to hopefully use the SCRoG method. Kind of like lollipoping but getting it ready for SCRoG. I do admit i might have gone a little Edgar Scissors-hands with her. Hope that answers your questions 
BTW thanks for taking the time to reply!
