new growth after first transplant

[wendog]

hey guys, just curious about growth after the first transplant (mine went into solo cups). I've read posts in the forum about a period of time when the roots start taking off and then later you see more leaf development and above soil growth. any input on this?
 
I'm a noob and am just curious and anxious to see my plants do well. Is there a generic time frame or anything I should look for?
 
 
thx guys!

Depends on how old they were, how big the roots, temps jn room, lighting, food water....but you should see some new growth 1-2 weeks after transplanting

I'm running a 4 lamp t8 fixture.. the room is a little cooler than i would like due to the -45/50 with the windchill we've been having. it has been unreal cold here this winter.. soil i picked up at the local greenhouse, "sunshine all purpose planting mix", he claimed its all they use. he also said to try "plant-prod brand plant starter fert thats 10-52-10, has micro nutrients and all of that. the plants seem well, they are looking healthy and green. maybe just too anxious to see the nice looking plants i see in the forum everyday.
 
thanks for the reply! someday I'll get some pics up to share, get some feedback from everyone.

10-52-10?  Holy cow...
I use 1/4 strength 3-2-6 on my first transplants in 3" cups, and that's only 2x a week out of a dropper
 
I noticed that annuums don't tend to slow down when I first transplant them, the chinenses have like a week lag period.

So it's a little overboard then lol. I also have alaskan fish fert as well. Could give that a go

Due to lack of space theres no where to keep the peppers except in the furnace room and lately with the brutal winter were having it's 20°c on average which isn't that warm
