im planning to use 16oz dixie cups for the seedling stage, this is for when it sprouts until it has 4-5 internodes of 5 fingers then i will transplant into a bigger pot? the soil i will use for seedlings will be a soft mix?no compost yet?wud this 160z dixie cup be good for seedlings until transplant happens?
for the roots etc..when i transplant thats when im going to use compost.
thanks :)
this is my question also because..
when i used smaller containers for seedlings than 16oz dixies, the growth seemed to be faster but of course one has still to transplant it again into a 2nd pot before the last one.
Dixie cups work fine. I use a soldering iron to poke about 5 holes along the bottom for drainage. Just be sure and not wtaer them just spray them with a misting sprayer and keep the soil damp and not soaked. I wait till they get about 6 inches tall and then transfer them into the flowering pots.
