I did an experiment where I up-potted every 2 weeks from seed until flower.
Clone rooted in jiffy pellet then planted into → 1cup → 750ml yogurt container → 1 Gallon → 3 gallon for flower. This was a seed run and each up pot was tiered and ended up looking like a step pyramid by the end. I’d water around the edge of the “floor” tier and the “pyramid” allowed for air access by roots. This was all before I got hard into air-pots.
It worked really well but the plants were small but had decent size flower.
in summary: the larger the pot the more time it takes the plant to fill in the space with roots BUT the wider and larger the “canopy” it can support. So if you go from a really small container to a really larger one without enough veg time the plant will grow but not be what it could be.
If your “seedling cup” is 16oz then going a few weeks with a veg period before you flip won’t hurt. Basically the way I go about it is
- up-potting to the next pot size (eg: 8" veg, put in 10" for flower).
- flip lights 12/12
- first 7 days = transition week were roots do their thing and plant goes "oh! looks like it’s time to start flowering.
" so I keep feeding vegative growth nutes. - day 8 after 12/12 = Week 1 flower start.
That being said you can also flip from seed in a solo-cup as long as you’re attentive. 
There are SO MANY WAYS TO DO ALL OF THIS personal experimentation in conjunction with research (like what you are doing) is what I found key to success.
I have a plant that’ll end up vegging out for 2-3 MONTHS before I flip. And then all shit’s gonna go cray-cray as I’m sure it’s gonna double in side and I’ll have daily training to address

Hey…quick question for anyone willing to answer.
Silica…should it be added to soil to help with water retention?
If so what kind of Silica should be used or can we just use any old kind. For example the Silica that comes out of the packets we find in boxes of shoes etc? Or only the food safe ones, is there a difference?
I have a large coffee can full of “Silica” that was going to be used in “stay cool” Fabric Neck Ties, my partners mother was going to make and never did. 
I would rather use it than discard it if I can.
This is what it looks like:

Thank you so much Bobbi!
When I open the tent I get whomped with the smell, it’s great! 
I’m not doing much except making sure they get watered and fed everyday.
I talk to them a bit too. I also talk to the water though, I heard somewhere it has memory. 
Dunno…just something I do.
