how long can u use plastic cups

im using 6 medium cups from burger king ,just wanna know how long they can stay in the cups before i have to change.

I'm assuming they are like 24 oz. size or so. When I've used pots that were tall and skinny, the plants got stunted. plan to transplant them as soon as possible. if they are still coming out of the seedling phase, cramped roots might force them male.

As long as they are NOT clear cups you can do the whole seedling cycle in those. Your plant started from a seed is considered a seedling until you have 4 sets of true leafs and the 5th set is starting to form.

At that point you transplant them and start the vegetation cycle.
