HELP!!! Started Think Different in Styrofoam cups 3 days ago.

I wish i would have read to put the autoflowers in the bigger pots from the start but i screwed up and started them in the cups. so the big question is should i just transplant them into the 5g pots now before the root gets to big? or should i leave it until about a week when they are bigger and transplant then? i was just going to cut the cup down the side when its nice and dry, water the soil in the 5g pot so its nice and wet and dig a hole the size of the cup and place it in and hope that because the soil is wet in the big pot that the roots will root into the big pot and i wont have (hopefully any growth stunting) . Has anyone transplanted them before? and if so have they made it without being stunted? im worried now because ive put alot of time and effort and if they flop over im going to loose it haha. Any help on transplanting and when to do it for Dutch Passion Think Different that would be awesome!!!

THANKS BIG TIME !

You can transplant now. Just let the soil dry out a bit so it slides out of the cup nicely.

Personally I never let it dry out to transplant. I water it a lot and then it falls out as a brick and then you can plant the entire thing as one piece withut disturbing the roots much at all.

Exactly ^^^

I have grown it twice and both times left it in a solo cup for the first 1 1/2 weeks then transplanted up to the finish pot just to conserve on space and was very happy with my yields. I would do it wet due to when it's dry the soil tends to fall apart and disturp the roots. In reality if you can get the plant out and repotted and not break up the dirt mass you will be O.K..
