Short plants/ Slow growth?

Hey guys! I started my 2nd grow ever from seed on april 23 (right after the holidays haha) I am an indoor grower with LED lighting. I am using soil that i created. (topsoil, hypnum, verm, coffee grounds, bone meal) i started two of my plants on 4/23 one sativa and one indica. here they are:

and then i started more plants one month later on 5/23

These plants are receiving 19 hours of light, Temp in the room ranges from 75F-85F Humidity from 60-75%. I water about every 10 or 11 days,and air circulation is always happening. I water with a pH of 6.6-6.5 using lemon juice as the pH buffer.
however a couple weeks ago i had problems with fungus gnats because i was watering too much. I took care of the problem with fly strips, nematodes and adding dry verm to the top of the soil at the base of the plant and watered less.
Ok finally got the info out the way, now my question should my plants be bigger than they are after about 2 months? am i just impatient? could i be doing anything more to make sure my plants are happy and healthy? do you think the gnats slowed my plants down,shock? any input is much appreciated thank you for your time! Peace and Love

not very expireneced. I thought pH of the soil can be controlled by the pH of the water? please any advice on soil would be great. Also my 90 day warrenty ends this month so if the light is no good i wanna return it. how can i be sure about the soil?

OK. sorry whats FFOF? i was thinking maybe switching the soil to Promix+coir+hypnum mix? i was reading http://www.growery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/483939#483939 can i transplant the plants i already have and would they have a chance of surviving?
and just to be clear, you dont think my light is the issue?

So do they have a chance of surviving and growing good if i transplant them to some new soil like FFOF?

yes that is what i did. i removed as much as possible without too much root damage.
So sorry to bump. i know you recommended Fox Farm, I went to the store and the man told me about Happy frog and how it has way more microorganisms in it and not necessary for pasteurization. Any thoughts on Happy frog? (yes i did add extra perlite for aeration)
