Looks great, make sure that cup has drain holes and you place it inside of an opaque cup.

Will do I was getting mixed opinions thank you
Why do people in north America start in solo cups I never start weed in anything so small I gotta ask lol it just seems a very common practice over there along with the 5 gallon buckets over plant pots suppose there cheaper and easier to source ? Not having a go btw just something I've noticed and wondered about for a while Vs how we roll in the UK
Looks ok mate don't worry yet lol

My first time I do plan on getting all those things in the long run though nice to see people from UK here to thanks man
I get you. Honestly I've wondered the same thing. I start my seeds in Jiffy Pellets, move to 1 pt nursery pots and then finish in 2 gallon FloraFlex pots and before FloraFlex I used 2 gallon nursery pots. Honestly I have no clue. I'd guess maybe because we drink too much. But I think you guys are about on par with us. So yeah it's not something that's made sense to me. But sometimes the obvious avoids me
Fair doos and thank you I just wondered for a while I use small plant pots then bigger ones or into a bigger airpot myself oh your right there we like a drink over here too as wellI get you.

Solo cups are cheap alternatives to small plastic pots. I start all my seeds in 3.5” square plastic pots.

Looks good so far, perhaps stretching a tiny bit. Consider moving your light a little closer.
Another tip you might want to consider. Fill the cup/pot almost all the way with your medium. It’ll give the plant more room to grow before you have to move it to a larger container.
