Roots outgrowing my Pots

So my roots are coming through the bottom of my standard beer-pong cup "containers" for my plants, should i worry about transplanting them to a bigger container, or should i leave them in the party cups so as to keep the plants from overgrowing my circumstantially small grow box?

You may want to get them into a bit bigger pots. Give the roots some room to grow to support the fine buds you want. Good luck :mrgreen::peace:

Onnnnnnnnne more thing...
should i try and find pots the same height with a larger width/length since i have height constraints? or am i looking for a container that's deeper than the current party cups?
thanks in advance

just because roots are coming out the bottom doesn't mean its time for a bigger pot. remember that roots always grow downwards, so of course they will come out the bottom.
so your plant should not outgrow a beer cup, since your doing a small grow. i've had two foot plants growing out of those cups, there's plenty of room for the roots to grow upwards

i've got 3-4ft plants coming out of 2 liter bottles right now, very healthy. you don't need a lot of root space as long as the roots are healthy, you can get nutrients to them and they don't dry out too often.

however if space is not that much of a problem, bigger is always better.

if roots are coming out of that pot then you can change it or place a big one.
Changing pot will not cause any harm to your plant.

Thanks for all the input! Much appreciated and as i already kind of figured, changing pots will only over grow my currently tiny "grow op". I'll stick with my party cups, and maybe just veg out for an extra month when i move out side (i plan on bagging to simulate 12/12 outdoor)
