when re-potting from a solo, how long does it take, estimate, on average, for roots to fill a 3 gal enough to transplant to 5 gallon. and with the solo’s i had clear cup to see, how do you tell when it’s time in a 3 gallon plastic pot?

All depends on how well the plants are growing really and how big the were when you stuck them in there or if you groom from seed
Use a colored solo. Roots dont like all the light with a clear one. Poke several holes in it & you will know when to transplant. I go from there to a 5 gallon.

See my rule with transplanting it first solo cup then 1 gal then 5 gal because a jump from 3 to 5 gal isnt that much if I were to use a 3 gal I would jump up to a 7 gal to give the plant more room and easier transplant. It all depends on what ur using and how quick ur roots grow I look down the sides of my pots and see how many roots are poking out then if I see a bunch I move them to the next size.

I usually go solo cup to 1gal to 7 gal fabric pot. There’s a little lag from 1gal to 7, but eventually they take off.

Il be finishing my ladies in 3 gallon fabric pots this time around, they seem happy enough! Uploading: E8C16D57-88CB-4247-A9CD-E57937F54C24.jpeg… Uploading: 9F9C778F-EB40-4103-BCF4-F5E334B75AED.jpeg…
I would say it will take 4 weeks before you’d need to transplant them from 3 to 5 gallon pots
I also go from starter to either 1 or two gal pots then to 5-7 gal final pots

looks to be a good strong supplement that mostly adds nitrogen?
I only use 2.5 ml per litre
