Get better soil(not Miracle Grow) and larger cups(18oz).
I have a grow journal, take a look.
2 to 3 ft tall plants in a 18 oz cup and was not root bound when transplanted.

 "Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." - Abraham Lincoln

Yeah, not enough room. A good tip for soil that doesn't want to get wet is to add a touch of dish washing soap. Works great and causes no harm.
