Alot of people make the following mistakes in that situation. They wait too long to transplant. Rule of thumb, when leaves pass container transplant it! The other is soil compaction and the other is when using plastic cups like that you need lots of air hole!

No offense but just look how low that soil is in that cup, transplant it now now now, into miracle grow. No soil compaction.tip plant upside down between fingers to stress plant the least, have everything all soil prepared first, comon man, think or you're going to wastethem like ive seen others do. Then after full watering, blast them with a strong cfl or 2 only 3 inch away and watch for it not to grow into light,

Make sure your next medium does not have too much chunky crap. Use miracle grow potting, just wip it in the next container dont compact it and remove all big wood chunks and break up the balls of peet for peet sakes!

No man, those plants are nearly rootbound!

Maybe I should have payed closer attention to the soil. There’s barely anything in it. Good grief, give that girl some soil.

Your pics show plants that are near rootbound. This means after transplant your plant will be slower to take off compared to no root twisting up and down that container. Youll see what I mean once you transplant

Next container, focus on depth. Get it around 18 inch deep, not too wide because that's how you get root rot. You can also do a dual transplant and i think that since you started in such small containers I'd suggest going medium next. 1 foot deep and 6 inch wide. Finally go 12 inch or more wide and 18 inch deep for final containers for best results in your situation

They almost always do just grow out of it.

Look at this pic youll get a good idea of a good container size. They are sitting in plastic shoe mats abke to hold water. You can buy them at dollar store. The containers are the small recycling bins. Btw if you are going to judge those yello leaves that's whoever's lack of understanding that this is normal yellowing bottom up during flowering oh and one time watering a bit late. As they go yellow trim them 1 inch from stalk but only when over half yellow and only a couple every few days even if you really hate the look of them, trimming faster makes the next ones yellow sooner especially well into flowering which is the process of your plant producing buds in order for seeds as it understands it is preparing for death. It understands this like it understands the seasons changing

They are! I have so much experience with plants even smaller than that twisting up and down the containers so I no longer even take the chance more than 3 weeks into growth for transplant but averaging only 14 days

Man we have had solo cup grows here, full term. It is nowhere NEAR being root bound.
