Okay, here are the pics!
So far since Wednesday 11 have sprouted and and getting like double the size every other day!
I plan to put them outdoorys Mid next week in those cups untill they are about 9" tall then I will put them in the ground.

There is two plants in one cup because we lost a seed in the cup well planting them so we put and extra one in just incase, they both grew :lol:

I am going to start using nutes like 2nd week of June!

Any tips or comments?!

PICS: :eyesmoke:

Don't separate seedlings. Generally one will dominate and then you can remove the runt.

If two plants are evenly matched, just bend them away from each other a bit.

Two plants will usually be fine in the same pot.

Your babies look like they're starved for light.

Move your light(s) closer or add more.

Some of the plants pictured are in danger of flopping over.

Add soil to each cup, nearly to the rim to support the overlong stems.

Best of luck!

Week 3
Okay, so the plants have be growing since sprout 2 weeks ago under a flourecent grow light and clfs. We just took them to our spot today, they are about 6 inches call and some have 3 leaf sets. There is 24 plants..

I am using Pro-mix soil with perlite and has a ph level of 5.5-7.1.
I have NOT started adding nutes yet.

The promix soil saids it feeds seedlings for up to 2 weeks.

We put them out side on Saturday, watered them, didnt go Sunday, and went today.
When we got there 3 of the plants leafs looked like this: (See picture)
see the little brown/yellow spot?!

What is causing this?! :S

Yeah, you can burn your leaves if water droplets are magnifying sunlight in one spot. Looks like some sort of burn to me.

Should they go soon. I was going to
grow them in cups until they were big enough for
the ground. When should they be transplanted??

Thanks for the help!

so you dont have to worry about buying soil, you should start a compost ;)
take all your vegetable and fruit scraps, lawn clippings, dead leafs, small sticks, paper, manures, any organic matter really except meat
just let that sit until next spring and you will have some amazing soil for free. make sure to check ph tho
but if you dont want to do this i think miracle grow sells an organic soil that isnt pre-nuted

and dont even worry about transplanting just yet, they still need a couple weeks. wait until they are on theyre second or third set of leaves, so theyre strong enough to endure shock. you should go pre dig the holes tho, two or three times the size of the size of the root mass.

Update:
okay I went and checked on them today and found that some of the leaves looked burnt. I have holes in the bottom of the cups for drainage. They get plenty of sunlight. I water them 80-150 ml every other day. The weathers been really hot the past 2 days (29-35C).

I will upload the pics when I get home
in like 20 mins
Oh and can someone tell
me when they should go in the ground
and what size the holes should be. Thanks

You can plant them in the ground whenever you'd like. They do better when they're bigger, but it's mostly important to have a nice root system, so I guess when you see some roots at your drainage holes. Plant 'em up to almost their first set of leaves cause those stems still look a bit unhappy. Dig your holes 3ft Wide x 3ft Long x ~2ft Deep
