Likely paper towel sprout, rooting cube or something like that before he put in soil.

he said he repotted so it must have been in another pot. a rooting cube should bring a plant to it's first set of true leaves easily

The roots was coming out the bottom of the solo cup

Exactly paper towel sprout and rooting cube for some of them and solo cup for a few

it doesn't matter a solo cup could grow a fairly large plant, i usually wait until i have 2-3 nodes before transplanting from a solo cup to a bigger pot and that is because i can't keep up with watering

Solo cups! Thats a noob or inexperienced grower for sure just like gallon jugs of GH nutes! Not judging just observing....
I sprout routinely 200+ seeds in feb. And 50+ a month till May.
I soak over night. Stir in the morning and toss the ones that dont sink after stirring.
Then in shallow soil, like one inch deep,in a 3inch cup, i will put 20-40 in that cup. There's a stronger germination when started together.
2-3 days later or when they are up and opened full their little cotyledons I'll transplant them each into their own cup. Just pour the cup out onto some soil and transplant each one deep enough that only the cotyledons are above the soil. Thats how i never get leggy sprouts. Never need propping up and stronger roots. Everything below the cotyledons becomes roots.
Ever notice after sprouting and first single blade leaf expands, how they start leaning over? I dont have that problem with my seeds.
Its a few more steps, and preparation and timing is important, but not having leggy sprouts or damping off is so worth it. Not having to do anything to fiddle fuck with falling over sprouts is so worth it.With rooting cubes,oasis cubes etc its easier to handle the sprout and transplant deep especially in 1gal pot or bigger.
Farmers, growers and gardeners been doing this technique for centuries.

Good thing Im not charging you for advice!
So i looked up your Tupur gold since you havent yet.
It has no, none, zero plant food in it!
So the early yellowing is likely beginning nutrient deficiency.
Maxi-crop with out iron can be fed to very young plants and thru its life. Get some soon.
Youre gonna need some cal-mag. And soon.
And a good veg feed of some kind, needed in about 3 weeks maybe sooner.

Ya, all his advice was good. That is way too soon to transplant from a solo cup. But it's a learning experience, and I'm still learning too.

Good call man. You got me interested and you are correct about his soil. Still it was too early to transplant, but he probably did it thinking it would help.
