I know Ive had a over watering issue so I dried them out for a little until almost fully dry and then watered them after. Im probably watering them every three or four days. Im about 2 weeks from sprout but it looks like the leafs are still curling under. Im kinda stuck, please help.

Cups aren't the problem. What's your media & temps? You need some air circulation, just a thought.The new growth doesn't look bad, the wet/dry cycle is a must in soil.

Can you see them now?
Yeah, those actually look much better than I expected.

Ok, hmm I agree with @MonkeyPickAss I think you'd need to transplant to bigger pots - do this when the medium is dry. It'll be easier.

It could be your waiting too long between watering? Smaller containers would need watered more often. Essentially as the plants grow.
What's your temps while lights are on?

On a side note - solo cups are brilliant for seedlings, but technically after two weeks they're no longer seedlings.

Brilliant work, keep it up.

Thank you all for the feedback, my temps are between 72-77, humidity between 50-60 at most.

I like to keep my humidity as high as possible while they are still small and taper it off as they go into flower. 60% seems pretty good for this stage imo.
What size pots do you recommend? I have some 5 gallons on hand right now, do you think those are to big for where there t right now? Does it even matter really? Thanks for the the advice it's really appreciate

Everything i've read says go up in size in small increments.
I too wonder about this, dirt is dirt, is there a benefit to getting a large almost root bound mass before transplanting?

Same here, maybe ill try one in a larger container and go up in size with the rest just to see what happens, And yes Karlzan I have holes in the bottom of the cup and sliver cuts on the sides. Thank you all for the info.
