First, all except for 18 of the 96 plants were started in the small seed treys (the common ones we all see or use). However, all the plants in the first photo were started in the size that has the temp probe in it and I transplanted those yesterday to that quart size they are in now. In the other photos I did approximately 30 or so in solo cups after they had two true leaves and many were just starting their third set of leaves, in the third photo you see some that were late bloomers but immediately put into quart size and in the last photo those were all on-time/normal sprout and then put into the quart size with two true sets of leaves. I’ve always like the solo cups after method because you can individualize feet treatment if you get some yellowing or other issues. With all that said however, it looks as though moving them immediately to quart size provides the more full and uniform growth with a healthier look, although the solo cups are acceptable. The dark leaf peppers are Pink Tiger Reapers and they seem to be very sturdy. Kind of wish I had put those in the quart size 😕. Anyone else had any similar realizations or experiences? Any thoughts or different techniques would be great to hear. Hope all you pepper heads are having successful grows.
