Should I wait until I see root tips through the clear plastic cups before putting them into their final pot?
They are 2 weeks in …
Thanks …GB

Thats a personal choice, no right or wrong as long as you can do it safely. You could sure up the long stems by burying them a little below the surface. 
Kinda like I’ve always done it. Just wondering. Heard about the “2nd set of leaves “ theory…seems like they coincide anyway…lol.
Thanks for the response Chas…

Just my 2 cents but I’d set those clear cups into some of the colored ones to block light . . . roots do better in the dark. Can lift them out to check root growth.

Hey Chuck,
I potted them yesterday, the clear cups didn’t seem to have bothered the roots too much. The 2 clear ones had the same root ball as the other ones… they all looked good.
My ph was a tad high so I’ve been adjusting it diligently and I think it makes a pretty big difference.
Thanks for your comments Chuck

pH is everything
In soil we target 6.8 so the roots can excrete their hydrogen (acid) to bring the soil near the root zone to 6.5. this allows them to feed at their own pace.
But if you are like me, you went prehistoric on them and provide them 1400ppm Co2 for their entire lifespan.
Then they eat and photosynthesize at 4x rates or so.
This increased growth, they strip the soil quickly and when the rootball has overtaken a 3 gallons airpot, i force feed with RAW Nutrients line.
Co2 is made with standard yeast and sugar.
Major pain in the rear, but my girls are worth it.
That said, the yeast doesn’t like light. Rule 2: 25%sugar to water. Rule 3: temp must be above 78, or you need a fishtank heater to maintain temp .
Do all this in a sealed jug(5gallon headpack) with a fishtank air pump pushing the gas into the tent.
So on pH
Lower pH is more available nutrients, but understand that the root system will lower it a bit on it’s own.
So I never pH below 6.3 if i can help it
