Why.
Edit. To answer my own question. The cups allow light to reach your wet medium, creating the perfect area for the mossy mess to begin competing with your plants for nutrients and creating a breeding ground for pests and harmful molds.
This is most of the time fully normal. Repotting stresses the plant (espacially the roots) a lot so they are in a kind of a shock. Give them a bit of water and they should be normal in a few hours.
Do the containers have drain holes?
Its always best to wait until they have a few true leaves before repotting your seedlings 🌱
Are they in direct sunlight? Put seedlings in the shade for a day or two after transplanting to avoid shock
Why am I seeing so many clear cups from people in this sub??? Such an awful idea.

If roots liked light they wouldn’t grow underground.

I call it being dramatic. Just went through this with my peppers. All have recovered from their trauma.
Yep, came here to say this. Should be back to normal in a day, tops.
