Which direction should I go? I need advice please.

So I started my seeds way to early again and my seedlings are getting along quite nicely. Got some fem seeds, 2 Maui Waui, Lemon Cake, OG's Kush and a Blueberry Gum. They have at least another 30 days inside before we can be safe from frost to move outdoors. I don't know if I should leave them in the solo cups and only suffer root shock once when I plant them outside. Or would it be beneficial to transplant them into the 1 gallon buckets in the picture, then in 30 days transplant them outside into my living soil? What I'm trying to figure out is which direction would give me the least negativity on my yield? Shoot me your advice. I was thinking of transplanting tomorrow. Thanks Gents!!!

I would top them and transplant them myself... ever thought about using smart pots outside?

If it were me i'd transplant them. I think it would be easier less chances of def. A bag of soil is cheaper than replacing the seeds and the time it would take to fix any problems that could arise. I assume if you wait another month to put them outside you have an extremely short growing season why risk it.

Looks like transplanting is the way to go. Growing season ends near the end of September here.

Transplant.

Those are ready to be transplanted.

Transplanting is not as scary as people make it out to be.

1. Squeeze the sides of your container to gently loosen the soil.
2. Slide a butter knife along the edge of the pot to loosen up anything else.
3. While holding the main stem in between your fingers with your palm flat on the mediums surface, turn your pot upside down and give it out pat.
4. Out should come your plant, soil, and rootball! Simply fill another pot with enough space to bury your plant up to a set of leaves and bam you've transplanted.


When done right your plants will experience zero shock and continue growing as if nothing has happened to them.
