My plants are 11 days old now and these are the roots that have been developed, i was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations about when/the best way to move my plants into a bigger pot?

this is the bottom of the cup they started in from seedlings thus far...

Turn cup over with the soil fairly dry.
Support stem with one hand.
Smack cup with other.
Root ball will just slide right out.

You don't want to grow in clear cups. Roots should not be exposed to light.

alright thanks I think im going to put black electric tape around the cups so the roots will no longer be exposed to light and let them be in cups there in for another week or so to develop a tighter rootball good idea or pointless idea?

What size cups are they in now? I wouldnt go another week. It will start slowing the plant growth.

And are you using nutes yet? If so I would stop til you transplant, water with regular water for the time being. Then start 1/4 strentg nutes after you repot. (Only if you have already started using nutes)
