What I see in the pictuer is an immature plant that isn't even close to having a big root structure due to it's size.

Worth....I am upset ?? I can never win ..are you saying after all my work that what I was advised to do is not going to work ....For heavens sake I am busy transplanting them out in my greenhouse and its certainly not cold out there ,,,,I know the plants are immature but I do see a reasonably good root system on them ....IMO they could not stay in the pots just getting higher and more spindly...The only thing that i see I have a problem with is... I have no over head fan so I will have to improvise somehow...Just to make things worse my main PC has just had a power failure so I am sending this via my backup PC...until i find out what the problem is with my main PC.. .....I better lie down and recover my composure>> Cheers Ron
PS..I have found the problem with my PC ....
I didn't say anything bad about the plant it looks normal.
All I was saying is for a plant that size the root amount looks fine.
If I were to transplant I wait till the plant is almost root bound in the container it is in before I do it.
This way the soil doesn't fall away from the roots.
I dont see anything wrong with your soil or anything.
With containers that size I have had much bigger plant grow in them with no problems.
The size of the container has nothing to do with spindly.
The amount of light has everything to do with it.
The age of the florescent lights you are using has a lot to do with it.
You might not be able to see they are degrading but the plants can.

Please dont assume I am insulting you or saying you are doing everything wrong.
All I am doing is giving information from my own observations.
Not some rehashed stuff from a book or the web.
