I get best results waiting 3 weeks to transfer to the final pot. Maybe its just a coincidence, but waiting 2 weeks has resulted in stunted growth more often.
What about you?

How long in Solo cups?

I wait until they have a nice root system throughout the entire cup so no damage occurs when transplanting.

Longer than 3 weeks then. How long?
When I realize that I'll have to water twice the next day (usually a couple of weeks or a bit better).

I dont know how long i waited, I grow by listening to my plants not a calendar.

I'm getting the run around here. Give me some numbers, people!
I honestly only use solo cups when I'm doing a pheno hunt or seed run and all of my 1/2 gallon starter pots are in use

Yeah i used 1/2 gallon pots for my last 12/12 run. Ended up moving the one female into a 1 gallon, wish i had gone 1.5-2 gallon though.I honestly only use solo cups when I'm doing a pheno hunt or seed run and all of my 1/2 gallon starter pots are in use
Your not. Plants grow a different rates based on genetics and grower skill/style. I have had plants at 6 weeks that were 3x the size of plants ive seen people post at 10 weeks. If the plant is sucking all the water out of a solo cup of dirt in 1-2 days, its probably ready for a transplant. I actually put my pots on my food scale when i fill them so i know the exact dry weight (it can be hard to tell exactly when a 200 gram solo cup is dry, it could still have 100g of water in it and without a scale, i wouldnt know.)

All three regular seeds i started were male 
This pic was at day 10.
This pic was taken at day 28, the day i transplanted it. So I waited 4 weeks to move her up from a 1/2 gallon. If it had been in a solo cup, I would have transplanted sooner. Probably closer to 3 weeks.
