It will loosen the rootball forming in the bottom of the cup, and help the plant set new roots into the new media faster.
Be gentle but if you break a few small roots, it's not a problem.

...i would ditch the solo cups and transplant into your jugs although i'd maybe also suggest you go with 3liter gingerale bottle hempys, the green plastic makes any light shining into the rootzone invisible to the roots.

...heres a couple of my first hempies from back in the day.



peace, bozo

Yes I’m sort of leaning towards the idea of planting directly into jug and digging the solo too. I think it will give more oxygen to roots with larger hole at top as well

Overall, I like your set-up. But for me, the height is a disadvantage because I'm always fighting for headroom. For me, having that solo cup riding up so high on that jug is a waste of space, because if you just had a bucket of the same height, you wouldn't have to bottleneck your roots through the cup, but with the same footprint.

Still, your design has some advantages, and shows you're thinking outside the box. So thanks for sharing it, I'm sure it will spark some other cool ideas.

Hi always nice to be able to help if i can So here is what i did i taped the milk jugs with black gorilla duct tape . I even taped the entire bottom on a couple of them. Its not a bad idea to tape bottom i think to help protect having tiny leaks my hempy bucket milk jug has a 7/16 size hole 2 inches from the bottom. In the resivor or the bottom of the jug to about 1 inch above hole i grow stones kinda like perlite but more expensive. Then with 100% coco to the top
