growing under but not on top

i had my dutch passion blueberry in a jiffy cup i replanted about a week ago after it grew about 5 or 6 inches i put it into a 1.5 gallon pot it grew a little higher and wider then kinda stopped the pot is a cylinder so its about a foot deep and its got roots coming out of the bottom. i had high nitrogen lvl when i started but i think they over that.they have in and out fan as well as a breeze fan. is this normal for a plant to grow in parts instead of all at same time since it wasn't getting any bigger outside the pot but inside explosion ill try to add a pic later but any thoughts would be appreciated

wait. how old are these? you have to let the roots grow before the plants does anything on top. the root system will reflect the top. more robust root system. more foliage. by transplanting to frequently , you are just making the roots keep expanding into the new soil, not allowing for foliage growth

that pic asap would really help, you arent talking about a 5-6 inch seedling that stretched upwards towards the lights and is on its first or maybe second set of leaves and theyve stalled out are you?

if you see roots from the bottom its time to transplant. vertical growth isnt everything, all this means is that your plant isnt stretching up towards the light, which is a good thing. tin foil is a bad choice as reflective material, get some mylar or paint the grow area walls flat dull white. how old are they?
 
that would be true if i didnt plan for it use the foil to keep the moisture in soil for on days wich i dont water since i have hi drainage and. light goes throught leaves so even if only the top responded to light they would still get more from what went through if i watered everyday i would probly go back to no foil and as for room reflective surface i gotta allocate funds for best benifit to dollar ratio. i must prepare for next step im thinking of trying to get the 3 part advanced nutrients base line voodoo juice a bulb for my 400 w mh some hyrdo equipment im probly gunna build my first carbon filter some inline fans 1 more thing of flex tube and a bunch of other shit then for bloom phase im gunna get white out mylar a 400 hps . mylar isnt that benifitial for my plants right now as the price equivilant of some of the other stuff im planning.i did this once befor in an area with hi-er heat(pig not temp)now i have better building supplies farm supplies building knowhow and i want to produce some really nice stuff this time i probly have a few other things to say but i guess ill save that for a l8er post when i start the next big change ill post the progress i get money in a few days and im going to be doing a lot
 
kinda obsesed with planning took some pics befor i change box around putting in a shelf lil making more room they keep getting bent from the light on the side.picked up some of the stuff from my last attempt 400 w mh and a bunch of clay pellets some flex tube maybe some other shit cant remember installed most of it and did some of the changes i needed to do didnt add the mh yet its an old bulb so not at max brightness plus some of them arnt that big and my box isnt that hi i dont have a reflector and im not sure how hot it will make the box .
 
heres the room befor changes and im not sure when they poped up probly about 18 to 20 days heres how they doing i took some pics of them after befor watering of them together and some closer ones of my best bag seed and my 1 dp blueberry

o and btw i took off the foil i use it durring early stages to gain a lil light and keep soil at the dampness i want to for the while im out due to soil consistancy or sumthing
 
ya i think they like how im trying to keep things constant 70 to 75 good airflow and moisture lvls i check them a few times a day they my babies i should name the blueberry betty Betty Blueberry
 
once i get my nutes im they gunna freak out(good freakout) espetially the blueberry since i over potted it it has a masive root structure for its size
 
mourning check up was really good they had a lil bit of a droop last night on their heavy leaves i thought it was just because big leaves for small stems but they really perked up this mourning arms are pointing strong. if i cant get a 3 to 5 degree increase in heat im gunna add a cfl sumwhere for small extra light and a lil more heat it will also give me a bigger day to night temp variance wich i like to be around 10 im probly getting like 2 lots of ventilation with cool long lights
 
should i make this into a journal it would probably be an entertaining journal since im always doing something and and im planning on doing this with a lot of better things than previous grow igotwhatuneed was the name i used then. i think i already said most of my plan in my longest post
