Did you feed before the transplant? I've fed mine the day I transplanted with no negative results

If its soil, and the soil is rich with food, you won't have to FEED for a while. Of course they'll need watered. I took mine from Rooter Plug to solo cup for 15 days (ish) then to 5 gallon pots. I've given them 2 ml of veg food in 60 days. Went into flower yesterday. I suspect I'll need to start feeding pronto.

With the FF nothing more than a little bit of plain water. I give mine a few cups right after transplant. You dont want to pound it with a gallon of water it can't drink until the roots make their way down the pot.

Ffof can usually go quite a while without food and even when you finally start feeding you can do it at low ppms infrequently. When i do transplant usually i like to hit the soil with some mycorrhizae of some type, or if theyre really rootbound ill hit em with a root tonic like cannazyme or rizotonic.

how long you all think i can leave it in the small white foam cups
I'm actually doing an experiment right now. I'm flowering one month old plants in an 8oz container. They are about 6 weeks old now. But I would transplant after 3 or 4 weeks

You can leave em in there till they turn into tall stretched out lanky two footers. Should you? No. You want to transplant when the plant is the size of the container its in. Thats my opinion. Wait until its dryish and slide it out and into the next size up.
