"i always fertilize it"

Try not fertilizing it any, just little water. Plants (as most livening things) will kick up procreation when stressed. Just a thought. It crossed my mind cause I got a couple cantaloupe plants that are under serious water stress from root eating gophers and 1000F plus temps. Ive had three ripe, but small fruit so far, unheard of this early.

is your 12 hours of darkness perfectly light-proof?
no light leaking in at all, and no peeking or opening it during the dark cycle?
be 100% certain that it is, and try increasing your cycle to 13 or 14 hours darkness.
also get some yellow sticky whitefly traps &/or Go-Nats or something...
are the bugs in the soil? if so, they might be feeding on your roots, which can stall the plants.
