Plant size for 3 months?

Hey guys so I have a handful of plants growing this year I just moved them all outside a few weeks ago as it warmed up here in NJ. This is my first grow season they were all started indoors and only get fish emulsion every 2 weeks as far as fert goes. My plants are about 3 months old now and I am just wondering if they look to be the right size i feel like they are a bit small for 3 months they have not been topped or anything maybe I should? I might just be crazy and impatient  :banghead: haha but they seem a bit on the small size to me. Let me know what you think thanks.

Looks fine, but I think you could have gone with a much smaller pot.
Why didn't you fill it with your soil mix when planting?
 
Your potential plant size is much smaller with only that much soil
 
it looks healthy. just let it grow.
yeah the wait sucks lol
 
@Jubnat 
some people do that so that the plants main stem is kinda protected from wind and center of gravity is lower.
 
 
Exactly it's hard to tell from this pic but it is in two 5 gallon buckets with a wick system so the roots will grow into the second bucket and then fill more dirt in as the plant gets larger.

Yup this one is a reaper I have many varieties growing all super hots. That makes sense I did just transfer most of them about a month ago and the weather here in north NJ has been soo much rain lately I'm just being paranoid I guess just wasn't sure as this is my first year growing.

give your reaper some amino acid, humic acid and seaweed extract.  your repear will uptake calcium a 100x time faster.  you can grow reaper up to 1 meter tall using only 2 gallon pot.
 
Really just of the foliage or bottom feed it? Like just any regular amino acid powder you get at the store? This is currrently the only thing it gets every 2 weeks. Should I add those in the mix do you have brand you recommend?
