Cool. That's the plan now.
The growth has really spead up over the last couple days. I took pics yesterday but forgot to post. I'll be transplanting soon before 12/12.
Hey growMEDS sup brotha plants are looking good you should transplant them right away they will take off when you get them in a bigger pot you can start a 1/4 or 1/2 strength feeding of grow big @ about three or four weeks veg then work your way up to full strength keep up the good work peace

Sorry bout the short one sentance post I was rushed out the door. I wanted to at least say something before I left though
Your plants look good, I just thought the roots might want be wanting a little more space. I have used those same cups for seedlings and I do believe they are only 12 oz. I usually transplant around 14 days really just depends on how they respond during the first two weeks.
Hope you don't mind me lurking your grow

from what i have read dropping temperature a little lower and spraing your plants with water should stop the spread... or at least buy you some time.
then you have google... and maybe someone who had this problem will read this and help you.
First thing to do is to look at the plants and put those with spider mites on them separately... if you can spot them of course.
Best of luck..

Yes you can reduce temps to the low 70's and their growth significantly decreases, but I think you've been having issues with higher temps? One of the great things about these forums is the members. Alot of them were previous members of older sites like Overgrow. You will most likely find anything you need to learn about growing MJ somewhere in the forums using a quick\advanced search. Anyway read this bit of info it's detailed and gives you quite a few possible options to help reduce them damn pests.

I have no experience with a large number of spider mite outbreaks, but I've used neem oil spray as a precaution before. It's contact only so if you happen to see one spray in the general area and search with a magnifying glass. Least you only have a few plants to check . Usually if they are white you have some time to kill the few alive before they lay eggs. Don't underestimate just one of them though because that one mite can become a spider mite outbreak if the coniditions are right. Use a magnifying glass and see if you can spot anymore.
Floramite works, but some people don't enjoy putting these chemicals on something they are going to smoke, especially during flowering. However, you haven't flowered at all yet so you are probably safe as I'm sure one treatment will be completely gone by the time you harvest.
Good Luck

Pulled the 3 plants and finely searched for mites because I saw a couple more.
I stared and tried to kill every one by hand.
Cleaned out the area with some OMRI bug spray.
Going to get some no pest strips.
think I'll transplant to 1 gal bags
might get some floramite just to have. maybe just a 1oz bottle. pricey shit.

i cleaned everything a couple times now
the roots were all crazy in a circle at the bottom wrapped a lot.
I think theyll really take off now!
bugs are discouraging.
I hope they stay away.
I got a hot shot no pest strip. it's a hanging plastic thing.
I saw a picture of somebody cut a piece out and put it in a little plastic container with slits in it.
#4 is missing a leaf where I made the red line
