just tip up side down and dump out you prob will have to cut a hole into the bottom of those cups and use your finger push out. and dig hole and burry it and pack dirt tight . don't for get to water it a little heavy the first time. also you can put it into any size pot, no worries of going to big.

Thanks for the tip, but I was asking if I should change the container now or wait for it to get a little bit bigger.

It has drainage holes in the bottom of the cup, but I didn't even know roots don't like lights, Thanks for the heads up.

Do you want a tall, kinda thin plant? If so go ahead and TP her to a large pot. If you want a shorter bushier plant leave her in the cup another week. Because the roots are already filling the cup, the plant is forced to start growing more side-branches. That is a good thing. I would FIM her today, leave her in the cup another 7-10 days, then TP into the final pot. With a 6-7 week flowering period I would expect her to finish at around 48 inches, where I want it. Good luck, BigSteve.

I might hold out on Fimming for now, but would there be any effect if I cut the bottom leafs in half or off?
