there going to stretch untill the first weeks of flowering, so your better off vegging untill theyre sexually mature and then flower

what lighting are you using? if CFLS, to keep it from stretching, keep those bulbs as close as 1-2 in

you see the stipules, those spike shaped things on both the male and female sides of the diagram? i recommend holding off on 12/12 untill you see these start to grow because there usually the first sign of sexual maturaty

what are you gonna do with that little rootbound baby? i say you either pull it or transplant it soon

ya lol i didnt understand what an aif light was. feel the warmth of the bulb and if you cant feel more than a little warmth with your hand 1 inch away your plant can take it and your light should be that close

honestly id suplement that low watt floro light with a few CFLs

remember its the tall one thats more important. be gentle with the roots but theres not a whole lot that can be done. the roots of those plants are probably so tangled and that little one is so stunted it might not even be worth it

magnifying glass may help, also its ready to be flowered, its mature, but it probably wont show gender for atleast a week into 12/12. you can switch over any time your ready i guess
