Why is my population frozen?

What are the factors affecting population? I have planets seem to have more room (class) and enough food but the population is frozen anyway. For instance, playing as the Humans, I colonized Mars which is class 4, and is creating 5mt/wk, so I would think the population would max out at 4b, but instead it maxes at 1.33b. Likewise, I have colonized two other planets with class 5, each with 5mt/wk, that have both maxed at 2.3b. What else is affecting population that is limiting the population on these planets.

Thanks

See the Wiki Population article.

Maximum Population per Planet quality in billions:

PQ 4 = 2.5 b.
PQ 5 = 4.3 b.
PQ 6 = 6.9 b.
PQ 7 = 10.2 b.
PQ 8 = 14.6 b.
PQ 9 = 20.0 b.
PQ 10 = 26.6 b.
PQ 11 = 34.6 b.
PQ 12 = 43.9 b.
PQ 13 = 54.9 b.
PQ 14 = 67.5 b.
PQ 15 = 81.9 b.
PQ 16 = 98.3 b.
PQ 17+ = 100 b.

you can load up a ship and put more on it but watch your morale if you do .
