Putting them in 12/12 after planting in 12L pots is a waste of your mix. The root system doesn't get that big since there was very little veg time. Also giving them 2L of water with a small root system will set them back with over watering. It's boring staring at a plant doing nothing because it's drying out. You can also grind up about a dozen eggshells and throw that in your compost pile for some Calcium, use organic leftover coffee grounds for some Nitrogen, they would like that. The plants still need some N in flower.

so they only root during veg????
smaller pots 6liter???
ps i do put coffee grind, eggshell... in my compost, but do you mean put it on top or????
ok boring, waste... words i dont like, but at least someone is giving feedback
and he im learning here thats my purpose
thnks

Here's a good read on smaller pots, lol Solo Grow Challenge 2014

That's good you got the coffee grounds and eggshells mixed in. If you could get some dolomite lime into your mix that would give you the ph balance you need. 1 tablespoon per gallon of mix.

The medium i use has limestone in it for ph balancing and I use reverse osmosis water. As far as finding a new ph pen? I don't use one. I used to but have figured out what works for me.

The roots will grow 2-3 times the size in flower but you over watered when using that large pot and that's what set them back. Now they are focused on building buds.

edit: 2L of water is a lot for that tiny of a plant. The pot size yes, but the plant can't handle that much water, yet. You need to water slow, starting with ounces. Let the roots grow into the pot that size.

day 47
normally i let them veg for longer, my mistake.
the main intention was to put them straight to 12/12 to harvest in august because of my visit to sick mother
and then get my act together, new growroom building, longer veg more time... no tent stuff starting to get real enoying
think i started this journal with the wrong mindset; but what the hell i'm smoking my own and i just want to share
i'm learning thats my main focus
btw really liked the solo grow challenge cruizer and i use dolomite lime..
anyhow here the pictures for who's interested...
