the clear cups are inside a dark cup, no light touches the roots, you can pick up the clear cup to check root growth for transplant, my first time at this method, I like it so far- both cups are heavily punched for drainage and the clear is split to easily remove for the transplant:thumbsup:

next time just try some MG seed starter mix plus 20 perlite...save the worm castings for later...:)

yes I will do it different next time, as of today 12 days from planting seeds , plants do look pretty good , except for the drooping problem which wasn't as bad today as before, the cups are filling with roots already- rained all freakin day here today and calling for some snow tomorrow

Do you have room to transplant into a 1 gallon pot or bag?

yes I do have room, and yes I did - they were definetly over watered- transplanted into 2 gallon pots in a dry mix- I thought this would help draw moisture from root balls. I know we are suppose to dampen new medium first but I was afriad to do this. when should I water the pots and how much- a full water till drain or lightly first? I mean the new dirt is dry- I have a high end moisture meter that is obviosly f----d up! by the way they were ready to move anyway-anxiously awaiting the forums reply-to hell with the meter I now have a dry pot that I will use as a weight sample and trust my judgement

I would water them now,but lightly.. Then in a day or so pick them up and use the pick up the pot method from here on.:thumbsup:
