Transplanting and Nutes

Ok so i need some help, from anyone... Supposedly, FFoF has all the nutirents a plant needs to sustain 3 weeks of growth. As seen in the pics above (https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/358231-1000-watt-nirvana-feminized-blackberry.html), i have plastic cups sitting inside of soil in a 5 gal bucket. I started the seeds in those plastic cups using Miracle grow Potting soil, and they are 22 days old now. According to my fox farms feeding schedule, i should be starting the nutrient regimen now, my question is that if I transplant my plants from the plastic cups into the 5 gallon buckets now, will the FFoF that has just been sitting in the 5gal buckets unwatered, have enough nutrients to sustain more growth before I start the Fox Farms nutrient regimen?

based on the plethora of responses... i think im going to commence the feeding in the small plastic cups... big bloom @ .25% per gal.

ok i didnt start feeding, however i did transplant them. At first i didnt have hope, the roots were sticking to the side of the cup and being gentle didnt do anything at all. so i ending have to slap the bottom of the cup repeatedly until that broke loose... some of which, roots broke off and suck to the cup... the next i came back, and some of them grew! good to see... ill have pics up later.. a few look pretty fukd up, but ill see what happens

I hope that helps and for future reference don't use Miracle Grow soil go to a hydro store or a nursery go get quality soil. Miracle Grow will burn your babies. Start watering them in the cups with PH water 6.0-6.8 for soil for the first few feedings which should be a week and then start with 25% strength nutes for another week or so depending on how fast they are growing.

well, it was miracle gro seed starting soil, with no nutes, so therefore thankfully no burn at all... the roots were starting to come out the bottoms of the cups so i figured hey, why not... easier to do it when the roots are peeking out the bottoms not 1+ inches out
