Eventually yes. Can you elaborate?

Is this the cup size you use in your grow that is in other threads? Sorry got confused and thought perhaps it was a new project.
I am not a hydro expert but I am fairly sure your plants are gonna outgrow that glass as roots often are as long as the height of the plant and I have seen plans where guys have a 3 to 4 foot "hang" in their hydro projects for veg. A lot of hydro plans are done using a rubbermaid container to allow more root hang.
I will try and find info about it to link you.

You may want to examine this DIY info project, it has a ton of hydro/aero info and plans, not sure if you have seen it or not:

IT does not directly answer your particular concern perse but his system certainly allows the roots to hang "for ease of transfer from veg to flower".
I just can't imagine a good size weed plant ever being able to be happy with its roots confined to a 200ml cup for the whole grow and many of the pics of roots from hydro setups are looonnngggg roots.

Well some quick research seems that 16oz or 500ml cup is the common accepted size many use. Yours are 6oz, 200ml I believe. Is it a big deal to switch to 16oz cups?
I guess if it is, just grow and see what happens. If they are too small it won't kill the plants as much as just lower your yield at harvest etc...but we don't want that either.

Well if the roots are growing out of the cups and that is not going to end up causing any other issues, then they might be ok. I cannot find any definite answer to make you panic other than most guides seem to use the standard 16oz net cups.
I guess the question is, could you at this point in the grow, change cups without harming the plants?
Are the roots looking jammed up at all or like they are filling up the space and getting cramped up?

Ya 500 ml is a better size really.
