When do I transplant?

Using Solo cups for seedlings, if I have it correct I want to transplant into 5gal pots before the seedlings get root bound, so as I can’t see the roots how do I know when to transplant? What do I look for as a sign that they are ready? Only 2nd grow and planted direct in pots first time. This time I’m transplanting. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I transplant at 13 days or so. Another rule of thumb is when leaves cover the top of the cup from side to side.

That’s great thanks, hoping for better results this time.

I also transfer about 2 weeks after they pop the soil this will be easier to judge as you get more experience

Photo mate please.

Just poped out of the dirt 3 days ago.
