how long can i leave my baby's in Dixie cups for?

also when should i stard adding nutes

Depends what size cups, and how well they grow.
I had to repot mine from a 20 oz. solo cup at 21 days, but she was showing signs of crowded roots for almost a week before I did it.
Nutes depend on soil you are using.
I first fed at 25 days from sprout.
Give some details, and you'll get some suggestions.

i have them in 20 oz cups i know the roots are crouded but my final veg room will not be finished for another week, just wondering if they will last that long if i leave them alone. its been 25 days since i popped the seeds

and im using sunshine advanced soil

You can't make room in the area where they are now to move into your next size pot?
They will probably survive, but they won't be as happy as they could be if you potted them properly.

under a bunch of construction, who knows what im kicking up in the air...

Its called research. Guess what! It works! He double posted a layout thread so he obviously isn't prepared for growing. You don't plant a seed and then worry about the hows and whys.

I usually wait 8-12days after I've seem them sprout, by that time you might starting seeing roots out of the bottem of ur drain holes which means time to transplant.

Also don't use nutrients yet if there still in Dixie cups, wait intel they have their second set of true leafs or intel u see just the littlest bit of yellow in the leafs, this means a nutrient deficiency and they should bounce back after adding some all purpose 20-20-20

Hope that helps. Peace.

thanks all, i was just wondering what was the longest you can safley keep a pland in a small cup. after all the books i've been through and countless hours online no one evere streight up sait "this is how many days a newbee can can safely stay in a 20oz cup".

As long as you want. They just won't grow after a point.
