How long in the Solo Cup?

[6StringFire]

When are you guys transplanting your peppers from their Solo Cups to their final resting container?

Don't do that. Transplant it and give it a couple of weeks.... it'll take off!

Once the roots get used to the new shoes, it should grow like a weed. Patience is the most difficult thing with peppers!

I had a naga morich that I left too long in a cup and just transplanted it about two weeks ago. Went from about 8" tall to about 18" tall in that time and now has flowers on it. Don't give up on it. Transplant anytime after the second set of true leaves are set.

I do it when it is warm enough outside to leave them there (only one repotting from sprout to final seasonal pot), meaning that I time seeding and germination, growth, to fit in my grow light enclosure and still end up at the right stage of development to go outside when outside night temperatures are hospitable, after the last frost date.  Usually that is around 2 months.
