Bigger pitchers

Hi all,
I have two small N. x Hookeriana plants in an enclosure and they are growing well and producing pitchers at a fast pace. But I have noticed that the newer pitchers are smaller and very green compared to the old ones left from when I got the plant which are darker, larger, and slightly spotted. So my question is what is missing? Do they need more light hours or a stronger lamp? Should I feed the pitchers more? The feeding part will be tricky since the newer pitchers have such dang tiny openings.
All advice is appreciated
Thanks
 
Stronger light. Pitchers will not form, or remain too small, if the plant doesn't have energy to make them, and energy only comes from light.
