This was a ph issue i went from promix hp to coco abd perlite. Hydro has tl be 5.5 or close to that. Where as ib soil i can run 6.5-6.8 with bo problems which was my mistake i was running 6.7 rather theb 5.5
I would still put them into solo cups and keep them there until the plant is twice as tall as the cup alone. If using a 5-inch solo cup let the plant get 9-10 inches tall the TP into final pot, probably a 3-gallon pot???
Good luck, BigSteve.

Do a side by side. The one started in the big pot will outgrow the ones in solo cups. I regularly start straight to 5-7 gallon pots.
Its a seed that grows in the ground. What is the ground but a big pot.
But yes. Starting in larger pots they will spend extra time building roots. Remeber though. The bigger the roots the bigger the fruits.

exactly that's what i thought .. I've started many seeds straight in the big pot, i think they seem like it better growing up in the same environment not being re potted and diff lights etc etc

Thanks for all the advice everyone. They still seem to look like they are going to stay smaller then usually because of the stalling
