    You can up pot anytime you want. Doesn’t mean you should tho I usually wait till they have 2-3 sets of true leaves

    i wait until they’re more substantial and less likely to die from the shock of transplant. also. your grow medium looks a bit wet. make sure to let it dry out a bit more between waterings.

  3. In about a month maybe more

    Your seedlings are a little leggy they’re stretching for light so you may want to get a more powerful light or move the light a little closer. Careful how much you water them You want the top of that soil to dry up a little bit before your next watering.

    Make sure to bottom water your plants only when the soil is dry. The soil looks soaking wet in your picture so be careful. Generally once the plant is growing its second pair of true leaves it’s a good idea to put them in a bigger container.

    I started 72 plants of 8+ varieties in the same type of cells on Feb 1

    My bacattum plants grew WAY faster, and were 5+ in tall with 2 sets of true leaves. I up potted 7 over the last 2 days (3/17-3/18), and they seem to have done well.

    Those cells are difficult to extract. If the roots are not really established, they disintegrate fast. Unless there is a compelling reason to up-pot early, wait until they are more established and only do 1-2 at a time to make sure you don’t just kill them all.

    Maybe hold back on watering for a couple days. Let that soil day out a bit

    Not for 2-3 weeks at least yet. Let them get at least 2 more pairs of leaves.

    You have tonnes of time, can probably go a month still easily.

  9. Not now. You have no true leaves. I normally wit until I have 2-3 sets then check one to see if the soil is held together by roots.
