Looks great, make sure that cup has drain holes and you place it inside of an opaque cup.
Why do people in north America start in solo cups I never start weed in anything so small I gotta ask lol it just seems a very common practice over there along with the 5 gallon buckets over plant pots suppose there cheaper and easier to source ? Not having a go btw just something I've noticed and wondered about for a while Vs how we roll in the UK

Will do I was getting mixed opinions thank you
Looks ok mate don't worry yet lol

I get you. Honestly I've wondered the same thing. I start my seeds in Jiffy Pellets, move to 1 pt nursery pots and then finish in 2 gallon FloraFlex pots and before FloraFlex I used 2 gallon nursery pots. Honestly I have no clue. I'd guess maybe because we drink too much. But I think you guys are about on par with us. So yeah it's not something that's made sense to me. But sometimes the obvious avoids me :eyesmoke: :lol:

Solo cups are cheap alternatives to small plastic pots. I start all my seeds in 3.5” square plastic pots.

Transplant asop because the tap root is going to grow rapidly now and you do not want to restrict it.
Good germ, now transplant to it's final home.
Good luck
