11 liter = 2.90589258 US gallons .. kind of small pots for 5 footers, u should try pullin one out real carefully to check if they are rootbound or almost there.. also not much you can really do because repotting them late in flowering would add too much stress.

yeah bro you gonna have to up the pot size considerably>>>Way to small for what your working with>>>also note that Coco dries out really fast and would require you to prob water every other day or so depending on how hot your room is:)

I usually mix 70% Coco 30% soil just so it doesnt dry out so fast and so i dont have to water on daily basis:)

The plants tell you when you need to water them. Simple as that. Know what they should weigh almost dry & when they are @ that weight water them completely. Takes a lot of the guesswork out of it & its almost impossible to over or under water. Slip ur nutes to the plants between regular waterings by lightly watering with the nutes around the stem area to avoid runoff down the sides of the pots.

yeah bro coco sucks the juice from them whores. i would go up to a bigger pot size for sure. transpanting in coco works great too they catch roots into the new mediuem quickly which is nice. but once those roots go through u will definentally be watering once a day again. they just drink hard in coco and they love it. try mixing soil next time if this is an issue for you. my 2cents
