Not sure what this is

Hello and congrats so far! I'm assuming that's a seed that you have germinated in a cup. If I'm correct on that you may want to go ahead and transplant into a bigger pot as said above. What type of soil is inside the cup because at this stage in your plant's life it should be feeding. I'm assuming you are deficient because your plant is hungry and needs a bigger pot.

Perhaps you could add some more info like soil whether it's a clone or seed. Watering feeding anything you can think of that might be important probably is and again good job so far!

It's a plant that, for some retarded reason, is still in a cup.

For the millionth time, this site has got to end this cult like obsession with solo cups. Nearly every plant that has issues a few weeks in happens to be in a solo cup yet people just can't seem to put 2 and 2 together.

I get it, you guys think seedlings need to go in stupid amounts of medium you have to water constantly, but then they just get left in a solo cup until they end up asking "what's wrong with my plant" every god damned time. Why can't you guys just use a proper bloody pot to begin with? All you need to do is provide growth medium, water, air and light and you guys cant even give your plants the first one.

Do yourself a favour, and plant straight into 3 gallon pots, or if you really want to believe this hype about transplanting, put in a one gallon pot and then transfer into a 3 or 5, not half a bloody cup and then leave it for weeks and wonder why your plant isn't growing.

The time for being nice about this is over. I see this a thousand times a day here and people just won't learn. These plants are heavily dependent on digging a tap over the first few weeks! You will limit the plants rooting capacity greatly if you don't give enough for a strong taproot. Why limit that ability? I grow in jiffy pots the size of a solo cup, and the plant roots out the bottom in a few days. It clearly says to transplant when roots are coming out the bottom, not weeks later.

Out of 9 plants last year, three were done in cups and transplanted two weeks into the grow. One died and the other two were the only two that struggled to fill a 7 gal pot with roots over four months. The rest were all much larger, and had fully developed root systems. This year's indoors were rooting out of a 5 gal pot in 20 days, while most of you guys are still messing around in cups. That should be enough proof right there.

These were transplanted today at 8 days as there was an inch of taproot coming out the jiffy pots already. If the plant is clearly asking for more root space after a week, why do you guys think keeping plants in a cup for weeks is a good idea?

This arvo. At seven days there was a long tap coming out the bottom of those jiffys, and roots growing around the sides. Imagine what a plant three weeks in would be like in a solo cup.

Potting direct into large pots doesn't work for every strain.

But yea a week is enough
 
Bro appreciate the people who said to transplant I’m obviously a new grower and still
Learning and you can check another post I made and people were telling me I shouldn’t put it into a bigger pot yet so I didn’t know till I start seeing the problems but I transplanted it and from here can you guys help with moving forward
