Seedling help!

[stephyyy]

Hey!

So April 15th I planted most of my seeds then a week later planted some more, pictures included of my plants right now. My problem is I planted in solo cups with somewhat of jagged holes in the bottom. The roots are now growing out of the bottom of some of the plants. Please help with advice of what I should do now. Transplant? But what if the roots break? I’m scurred lol P.s- this is an emergency haha
Thank youuuu!

If the roots are growing out the bottom of the pots then get them in a bigger one... don't worry about the roots when you move them, just be gentle and they will be fine. Cut the pots away if you think it will be a problem
They look healthy btw

A few busted roots is fine

Hell I'll scrunch mine up a bit when I transplant to get em going a bit

Transplant ASAP my friend

Ok thank you! Problem is, I don’t have a huge space for an indoor set up and the plants still have about 3 more weeks inside I got slightly larger pots than the solo cups, they are the same height but wider if that makes sense. I couldn’t find anything taller. I hope my lights will get to all the plants now that they will take up more space in the bigger pots. Omg I timed this wrong haha. Do you think they will be fine in this size for the next 3 weeks until they go in their forever 10 g grow bags ? Pic included

Lol I guess so haha omg I timed their growth wrong

 

[jimbobdaz]

mmm... another three weeks in that size pot you are risking getting rootbound

Ok haha the new pots are wider but the same height so the roots are gonna have to grow outwards I guess and they are gona get scrunched down at the bottom. Do you think it’s fine for the next 3 weeks before they go in their forever grow bags?

 

[Carcass]

. Do you think they will be fine in this size for the next 3 weeks

They'll be ok,don't expect too much growth till they go outside,though,not a lot more root space in the new pots...

Fack

Ok but they won’t die right? I’m stressed now haha

 

[Carcass]

Rootbound won't kill them,they'll just stop growing for awhile,and
it might stunt them a bit when all's said and done...but what ya gonna do-it is what it is...

 

[jimbobdaz]

Fack

It`s a risk and not something i would do, i`m not saying it will happen... just something that could

If they get root bound will they still grow once I put them in the 10 gallon?

 

[jimbobdaz]

Like carcass said... it will more likely just slow them down

 

[Carcass]

Like when you buy a potted plant at the nursery-they're always rootbound,but once they're in the ground,they start growing again-they may just pause for a week or 2,but they take off after that.

Ok so 6 down so far. 1 of them basically fell apart in my hands so I put it together as best I can and added the new soil around it. I’m fucking sweating will the plants make after this trauma? Also, they were already watered in the morning, I should not be watering right now after the transplant right? Omg
