Last year, I transplanted my seedlings into individual cups when the true leaves appeared.
My question is this: When do the seedlings REALLY need their own little pot? Can I have my transplants with 4 or 5 to a pot until I put them in the containers? Or, if I need to thin them sooner than 8 weeks, when is optimal? I ask because I ran out of foam cups last night while transplanting, so I simply thinned the prolific ones from say, 15 seedlings per cup to 7 or so. It takes up a lot less space, so I am wondering if this is a good idea generally, or if I should get to the grocery to get more cups today. Cyn |
