Hey all.
Finally jumped through my last hoop and have the OK to grow legally for a medical condition. Big fan of the community here and it is where I gathered most of my info leading up to my first grow.
I do have a couple questions I am hoping to get some advice on.
I started from fem. seeds and have them in clear plastic cups. The cups are 18oz/532ml (I think a bit smaller than the red beer cups many use). I thought they would be good to help gauge the roots to determine repotting. My first question is:
When should I repot? I've read about waiting until there is a good 'root ball', but I don't want to wait too long and have them stunted due to being root bound.The plants themselves aren't that big yet (I'd say 7-9 days since they popped from the soil), but the roots are already on the side / bottom of the cups and easily noticed.

Can these go a little longer? Also, I was planning to go right to a 5 gallon pot. OK?
Secondly, the leaves on some of the plants are wrinkly / starting to curl. I believe it may be a bit of overwatering? It looks similar to some heat stress pics I've seen, but the temperature is almost always between 70-80*f / 21-27*c which seems ideal.

They got a good soak the other day as the soil was dry, even down a couple inches. I think I just gave them too much?
The plants are maybe 6" from the hood, but it is air cooled and the glass is only very mildly warm to the touch.
Using soil (obivously) that way recommended for cannabis growing. It is pH balanced with a mild nute charge so I've only used distilled bottled water with a pH of 6.5 so far.
Thank you all for any input.
Cheers!
