transplant from 16 oz cups to 5 gallon pots?

like the title says would it be ok to transplant from 16 oz cups directly to 5 gallon pots? any advice will be appreciated

yes, but if your plant is still pretty young be very careful with your watering

You can definitely go ahead and make this transfer if you like. The soil you transfer into should be quite similar to what they are in now. If you intend on transferring them to a very nutrient rich soil you should dig a hole in the pot bigger than your cup and fill that hole with the soil that the plant is currently in so it has a bit of buffer time. I like to do 2 transplants, cup to a 1 gallon of half strength nutrient soil and then 1 gallon to 5 gallon of full strength nutrient soil. I like this because they typically show me sex while they are still in the 1 gallon pots. This means I don't have to waste time and energy transferring males into 5 gallon pots only to have to pull them out again.

I would defiantly wait to put it in the 5gal. Put it in a 1gal then a 3 gal before the 5gal. You might find out you don't even need the 5gal pot depending on your grow area size.
