I'm using a product called Bio Grow Liquid plant grow from a dutch company called BioBizz, its 8.0-2.0-6.0. I'll post them pics tomorrow!
Nice looking plants man! Good and healthy looking!!!!!!!
I'm not sure what the season where you live is, (and please don't tell us where you live), but as the days get shorter, your plant should start flowering. The flowers will be obvious to you when they happen. If you're in shorter days already, then it's possible your kitchen light has "fooled" the plants into thinking they still have long day lighting.
Let me know how many hours of light you have now at the latitude you live in. I'll be able to tell you what nutes to use at this point when I know what season your plant is expecting now.
Here's a short example of what nutes you should be giving your plants. Keep in mind that these examples are generic. Depending on the strain you're growing, available light and nutrients, method of growing, and other factors, the need for different nutes can be quite different.
The grow guide right here on MarP's Home Page is a great way to introduce yourself to advanced MJ growing.
From MarP's Home Page:
Marijuana plants require food to grow. The three main components are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). These are needed for strong root growth, strong vegetative growth, and for lush, full flowering and high yields.
Most potting soils come with a balanced NPK ratio that will sustain a plant for the first 2-3 weeks. However, as the plant grows taller and wider, supplemental nutrients are required.
In the vegetative stage, a good 20 - 20 - 20 supplement is often adequate to maintain proper growth and development. Most growers dilute this formula to one-half or one-quarter strength, as marijuana does not tolerate full-strength nutrient feedings well. This can be given once or twice a week, although some growers use it at every feeding.
In the flowering stage, a higher ratio of phosphorus is needed to promote and encourage flowering, as these flowers are the bud sites, and the number of flowers affect the end yield. Phosphorus alone, or phosphorus in a higher ratio - 10 - 30 - 10, is often used in this stage.
Secondary foods that the marijuana plants need are calcium, sulphur, and magnesium. These foods ensure that plant photosynthesis is maintained, allowing strong growth and good development.
The trace minerals a plant needs are boron, copper, molybdenum, zinc, iron and manganese. The marijuana plant takes up a minimal amount of these elements, but they are essential to the overall well-being of the plant.
All these nutrients work together to maintain healthy growth and development. Plants will grow poorly or not at all if deprived of any one of these nutrients. If the lack is severe, the plant may go into nutrient lockout, which is the lack of one nutrients blocking the uptake of all the rest, thus causing the plant to die.
Careful, occasional assessment of your plant will determine whether it is healthy and stable, or lacking in any of these nutrients. These problems are easily fixed, but correcting them is very essential to the continued growth and development of your plant.

Good luck to you man!
