If I was you'd I'd chuck them in bigger pots (12 inch will do) and add some fertilizer.
What size would you like your final tree to be?

Leave it for a season in the big pot, let it grow a bit bigger and healthier and chop it in mid to late spring if it's ready.

Re: got 10x tube stock :)
I only got 175mm / 6.8 inch pots for now its all i could swing as I've spent way over budget lately
It will just have to do for now they were still in the tubes so i gather they won't fill 6inch to soon
