2nd grow 10L (2.7 gal) Air pots Vs standard (3gal) pot . I'm open to any constructive input . How can I make a better root structure !

Vegged 1 week in 1gal pots then transplanted into air pots/standard 3gal pot. Flowered for 50 days. Grow in Sphagnum peat moss amended with http://www.hydrofarm.com/pb_detail.php?itemid=12881 and http://www.google.com/products/cata...TprcNcihiQKdq_SODQ&ved=0CHkQ8wIwAA#ps-sellers . First 4 pictures are from air pots. The last 3 are from the standard pots. You can clearly see the spiraling of the root system in the standard pots.

EDIT : vegged for 1 week in 1gal pots then transplanted into airpot/standard pot and vegged for 3 more weeks. Flowered for 50 days .
 
IMO the roots adapt better to the air pots. There's no majr diff. between height and yield. The major diff was the spiraling for the roots in the standard pot. I didn't see that in the air pot
