I've got these tomato seedlings approximately 6 inches tall. roots are developed so I think. I took pic.
can I pot these up to 6 inch pots to grow in until I put into ground
also, I have miracle gro potting mix and miracle gro perlite, should I use this or more seed starting mix. I heard both will burn my seedlings. I also did bottom water 5 days ago with fertilizer at 1/4th strength and they seem ok.
I don't want to burn them so please help.
if I should stay patient or can i go ahead

You could pot these up to 6-12-5 gallon. Whatever you want. They could go in ground if weather permits. These are no longer seedlings and will do just fine with whatever you want to pot them in
Potting mix shouldn’t burn these plants. You may get a growth spurt from the fertilizer in the mix, though.
I put mine in their final destination at that size.
I’m waiting to plant also here in the upstate SC it’s been in the 80’s then 40’s it will be a month before it settles down.
Personally, I would keep them in those containers until they’re ready to go outside. You’re going everything right.
