Its a 1000 watt bulb 7 inches is absolutely to close at that stage. I wouldn't keep my 600s that close. I have no idea about the splitter thing. But I gave my 2 cents.
With the right air circulation I didn't think it was too big of a deal. I like using the hand rule for measuring heat intensity from the light to the plant, hovering my hand over the tops, and if I feel its too hot I raise it. Just my .02

Everything looks great and perky. I still feel like they filled out those pots and could be repottted resulting in some monsters!!

Id flip asap. Looks great. Hella tops.

How often do you feed/water? An what type of nutrients are you running?
As previously posted check out light defoliation techniques

I'm actually planning on flipping in the next week. I water twice a week as needed. And using botanicare nutrients pro grow, liquid karma,silica blast, cal mag, hydro guard and super thrive every other week. And Goliath feed every day with pure water.

Those girls look happy and healthy. I think the droop you were having is because your soil holds a decent amount of water. I suspect you're getting a terrific sense of how the pot feels as it dries... It will start sucking it up in flower.
I have large plants in small pots also. But my soil mix is lighter and feed constantly with. If you can get the 5 gallons it will be more consistent with the grow style you been working towards. But you could kill it this way also

Man o man this 5 gal pot is getting tempting lol. Ok if I were to transplant how much longer do you think I can go until I see a difference. I just need to flip with enough time to beat the heat so I don't run into heat problems.

As well rooted as you are I would
Say transplant and immediately flip. The roots will fill your pots first couple weeks and you can water a bit less frequent. But I'm not expert on this question for sure. I always veg in small pots. No matter how I'm growing. Looks as if Kswisss has a similar style maybe he can offer advice.

I understand the heat prob. Maybe lifting the lights 6" or so will cut it down. Unless you have ridiculous valley heat lol
