Can these girls be transplanted into their final container?

I feel like I should have some this yesterday already, but here we are. The roots are a little coming out of the drainage holes.

This is the perfect time to transplant them. The sooner you remove these small cups, the better. Transplanting stresses the plant so you might want to give them a day or some time before feeding again. Make sure you are very gentle while doing it and maybe try some Mycorrhizae. That helps them to quickly develop new roots. Good luck! 🙏😇

NonI'm not sure what you mean, but yes, if you water too much the roots go deep.and I don't know if you want to do just one CAP challenge or just one Cup or if you just want to do a transfer but I think it's just one CAP challenge only cup... I hope it isand I don't know if you want to do just one CAP challenge or just one Cup or if you just want to do a transfer but I think it's just one CAP challenge only cup... I hope it is because otherwise you have only stressed the plant but for now it is not even that stressed it depends on whether you repot it now it can easily become an excellent plant because the start anyway the start is still an excellent start congratulations because the first leaves I see are really in shape it all depends on what you want to do now I already told you or water perfectly but anyway the more the vase will limit you, the more it will limit you

hey 👋 Since you’re using germination mediums that act as a buffer, like rockwool or peat pellets, you don’t need to go through the cup stage; next time, transplant directly into the final pot 👍

Yes these look good to transplant. You can also tell by the slight yellowing that they're probably starting to get a little hungry. Which a transplant into new soil can help

You can definitely pot up. Even before this point by more than a day or 2, most likely... The next size should be appropriate, though. If you are going to 3-5 gal, you may want an intermediate size for 2-3 weeks, then pot up again. No worries of a few days off. There is an 'optimal' path but even if you lose a day or 2 that's not much relative to 100 days. If you overlap grows, it'll be difficult to time everything perfectly in a consistent way... so, shit happens and it still turns out perfectly fine. if you pot up to a larger size and the plant can't drink fast enough, the water absorbed into the medium just sits there and stagnates growing weird shit -- same reason you don't want to leave water out for long periods of time sitting around. How fast it drinks is how i determine when to pot up too. It's the most correlative trigger. Once you approach 1 days between irrigatons, you know it's drinking the water fairly quickly and can hit the ground running in the next size up. This assumes common sense wet-dry watering cycle. If you like to water early, maybe as it is well into daily irrigations with limited dryback. Roots out the drainhole - not a good trigger. I have some recently rooted clones with roots poping out the bottom, but it was not well-rooted, yet. Size of canopy relative to volume of medium is another good trigger... That's what is driving the drinking rate anyway - potential transpiration.

Yes.........should have been transplanted a week ago. The roots will already be running out of room. Those stupid little cups are only good for 7-10 days of growth at the very most.........I hate seeing people starting seedlings in them, they are just too small and can stunt plants quite quickly.
