My plants have been outside in party cups for 2 weeks. I know they are for sure rootbound.
my question is how much will this affect my yields? we have 30 plants. figure 15 males and 5 runts.. 10 decent sized plants.

Just get them out of the party cups and your yields will increase, you can try breaking up the rootball a little but before transplanting but becareful not to damage the roots themselves

Really? I'd love for you to post the pics of your root ball when you transplant. I am transplanting a few later today that are more than 2 weeks old and are not root bound in a dixie cups. They are roughly the size of a 1 gallon jug and are doing fine in 16 oz cups.....

is that from seed or clone though...

I grow from seed only. Are you suggesting roots develope faster from clones? Hope not because it's not true. Takes roughly 14 to 21 days for a clone to fill out a rockwool cube. Here is a plant I transplanted earlier today.(3 weeks old) As you see, it is not root bound and still has a nice size.

As for you asking how this could affect your yield, it's pretty much wayyyyy to early for some minor rootbound issues to affect much of anything four months down the road. Don't sweat it my friend, you're golden.
