How long until I have to transplant? I'm going to veg these for 16 days then flower them. Do I need bigger pots?
How long can you grow a plant in a solo cup?

I've kept vegging plants in solos for months.Once the cup is fully rooted,they will require frequent waterings.To answer your thread question,as long as you can keep them healthy.
What size pots are you going to flower in?
What is your desired height of plant(after stretch)?
Have you run the strain/s before?
If you are going yo veg for 16 more days,up-potting may be best at this point.It will give the roots a chance to get thru the new medium and get settled good before you flip to flower.
You will know when they are unhappy and want new shoes.

Until it dies.
A lot depends on strain. Some tolerate being root bound more than others. Other factors like environment play a part. You'll see problems when the plant is trying to transpire more moisture than it can get due to the foliage to root mass ratio.

The problem with growing in cups from my experience is the plant stays pretty small until you transplant, I like to transplant asap once they have 3 or 4 sets I move em out nd once the roots can shoot out without finding more roots or a cup wall the plant will explode, dont keep them in cups too long it retards growth.

Agree with redeyedfrog. Better transfer it earlier and not keep them longer on a small cups. Keep us updated.

I keep them for long periods of time! Just for space reasons.. when I have the room for them then only 2 weeks is norm for me!
This last summer I stopped growing and kept 3 of my stains alive in a armoire for 4 months in red cups with no love or feedings just some recharge and plain water not phed.. the plants looked like shit when the 4 months was done but in weeks after that they was happy as ever .. you can check my post about it...
