transition process

[druss]

Im nearing the end process of seed germination, and would like to eventually get these lil gals into the ground outdoors. In the 'in-between time' i would like to start them off right and not cause any stress when i do goto the outdoor location. Im thinking of some small bio-degradable pots one for each seed. If i use the previous mentioned ferts and nutes, will my plants shock when i take them outdoors after a few weeks? what are your suggestions about this transition for the most safe and stress-less move?

Also, when should i get these guys in the ground for a fall harvest in the midwest? (sept)

ok seeing as how noone replied to my question, ive gotten along just fine. i have 5 sprouted babies, and have since ran into another question. How long should i wait w/ these lil ones in their respective planters before i transplant them into the outdoors? is it a size question? the largest currently is about 3-4 inches in height. Also, should i dig a hole and transplant the entire medium into the outdoors spot to ensure that soil shock wont happen immediately and kill them? pls reply! thx!

HI druss. Wait till you think they can cope outside. I let 1 go out and it died cause it was too small, and got eaten. Im gonna keep the rest in till they hit about 20 cm. I would plant em in big ass pots indoors then take the pots outside and then burry the pots so then you can get em in on 12/12 when YOU want. but if you cant be arsed to do that then plant the whole medium in the ground.
Good luck

Hi, I put my sprouts in small pots and had them in a sunny window for about 3 weeks then transferd them in the ground outside. They are doing awsome outside. Like Ivan said wait till there big enough (3-4 weeks) before they go in the ground. With proper watering Mother Nature will show her love.
