yes put something around the bottle to prevent roots from contact with light. Poke holes in bottom of bottle for drainage and put a saucer under it to collect excess water. next time use 4 inch pots.

Yeah, I planned on transplanting them to bigger pots still. My issue was room though, I have my room on the flowering light cycle so I can't keep the little ones in there. I used an old sub box, lol its only temp. Tho I wanna give them a more stable enviornment so they don't stress out.

roots getting light??
Funniest thing, I have one. I'm just a super nice person and want to spread the love for growing, so my homie is usin it at.the moment. I have a sixhundred watt light Nd balast too that he also has. I can't just be like " hey Bro I need my stuff back, good luck finding a place for your plants now." He needs a bit more time. I should just sell him that one and buy a new one... I'm rambling sry.

I put two surplus seedlings in pale green 3 liter ginger ale bottles.
I was curious if the light from dual 400 watt lamps would bother it.
After 9 weeks flowering; the roots was packed tight, but the plant did OK...go figure?
(well, there is a label around the bottles)
