how big is your room and ceiling height? are you going to keep using the cfl's to flower?
how tall do you want to keep the plants? and how many plants are you going to flower in there?

Its a closet grow so about 10 square feet..... Ceilings about 5 feet tall.... I am going to keep using CFL's to flower in because I am poor.... I have a total of 12 Cfl's on it ..... Both are mixed with each... Red and Blue spectrums....I prefer to keep them short and bushy... And all will flower at the same time in the same room..... I plan to Start a 12/12 in 2 more weeks... Honostly though..... I really would like it if they did stretch a little....

imo i would put them in 3 gal. pots now, lst them and veg for the next 2 weeks.
go to 12/12 and continue the lst for about another week. after a couple weeks of 12/12, the stretch should slow down, and you should have a nice even canopy of tops all tied horizontal. you dont want the tops to get too tall due to the penetration of the cfl's isnt very far.
if you have a good exh. fan at the top and a passive intake hole slightly larger than the exh. hole at the bottom, you should not need the plexiglass for cfl's. and you should be able to keep the door closed.
what is the temp of the air coming into the room?

did you give them a good watering with plain water when you transplanted?
you should because the new dry soil will wick all the moisture away from the root area. just asking because it looks dry on top.
did you do any research on topping or lst? now would be the time to start if your going to.

I did give it a good watering after transplant....I used 1 gallon between all plants... Distilled water!!!! These freaking things love it... They were topped last week and pruned some.....I also topped some of the lower ones underneath.... What do they call it again??? Super croping???.....This 26th will mark 6 weeks.... But now I want to give it another 3 weeks for veg because of stress... I clipped them last week and re-potted them this week... I think I will give it another 3 weeks before flowering.. I hear-tell of plants stressed, have a higher risk of becoming male??!!!!
