i`ve decided to transplant from there 5L pots to 7.5L pots might set me back a few days but will give them a bit more room for root growth,
and yes i know i said these 5L pots were there final pots but i feel as tho am strangling the girls, make me nervous lol :)

I have seen plants grown in small plastic cups all the way through the grow. The plants still grew tall and had alot of bud on them. Mostly tops but it can be done in little pots but i like to use the plastic coffee cans for my plants. I am only growing them about 2 feet tall so i can get away with the size of pots that i am using. I am also keeping one of my AK-47 clones in one of the little cups and one in a coffee can to see what the yeild difference is going to be. But i have seen that the one that i transplanted in the bigger pot is doing alittle better growth wise but they are about the same on budding.

Looks like you got things under control. Have you tried T5 flourescent lights, there is some full spectrum ones out by a company called sun blaster. I used to use big cfls but have growen to like the T5s. No heat so you can rest them right on plant.
Good growen ay

more or less, ive left a few side branches so two side colas and the main cola, the smaller one is about 4 or 5 days behind the other one and will more then likely be just the one cola.

i`ve noticed the difference from having the lights like that yes,when you look down the middle of your lights its brighter, and cfls tend to last longer hung vertical! less loss of light upwards when you dnt have a hood for them!
