Hey @happilyretired and @hellraiser I have a question. So my roots for one of the ladies has touched the bottom of the cup and starting to lay out ob the bottom as well as the sides are getting covered more but every side has roots touching the bottom. Is this when I transfer or do i hold out some more?

I’m never in a hurry to transplant, more roots will hold the root/dirt ball together better making for a less stressful transplant for you and the plant.
I transplant out of solo cups when my sprouts look like this
And the roots look like this

Get yourself a calendar. Write on it what you do when you do it every day. This will help immensely in remembering what you’ve already done or not done. You can also put reminders in there so you don’t forget things. A quick reference to what you have done and what you need to do really helps. Stopping what you’re doing going back and reading it can help prevent a knee-jerk reaction that might be wrong. At first glance it looks to me like one of the three suggestions that I made. The new growth is a little bit light green which could be a little bit of nitrogen deficiency, not sure. Hellraiser will stop by and work his magic…

Do your cups have holes for drainage?

They do indeed. I do a weight check everyday to see how fast they’re drinking up the water. Now they look like they lost weight meanwhile bubblgum is perfectly fine @Slym3r

Yeah I saw that is that an auto? Have you checked your light timer to see if your hours are screwed up or not? Lord knows that’s embarrassing. Been there done that, still trying to figure that one out

Yes they are all autos. I check my hours everyday on the timer and wake up before just in case for some odd reason

Could you explain to me again how come you have auto flowers in solo cups?
I am going to admit right here first in for most I do not do well with auto flowers. Grew them for my very first grow indoor ever and have hated them ever since. That being said I bought a handful of 20Twenty seed to grow with the group. I haven’t started them yet because of foot issues but give me a month. Just so I can remind myself why I don’t like them. Anyways, back to my question?

I know you were trying to receive advice from specific people on this thread. I was gonna say awhile back in your thread that you should transfer them but I didnt want to intervene. Anyways once I saw them looking like that my first thought is they’re out of room but then again I’ve seen some crazy grows from solo cups especially from who your getting advice from I wouldn’t say anything against any of their advice all very talented growers. but I haven’t seen very many auto grows in solo cups. I just notice once they start clawing or leaves changing color for no reason I check the roots if there developed I transplant most the time within days they come back but this is on my photos. What I do is only let my autos go a few days once there popped out before any major roots develop I get them in there final pots then hit them with superthrive for the shock I also use jiffy peat pods. Just my opinion and what I do. Best of luck. You could try transplanting them now but seems a bit late for autos. I’m not the most talented either so don’t hold on to what I say lol.
