Depth of transplanted seedlings

[loylty gets u nothing]

i like to plant out to the 1st set of leaves

the round leaves are called cotyldon leaves

spelling is wrong i know

after 1st transplant i go deeper after cloning

also id start and get a jump on flowering

by veging up indoors first

keeping in mind going from in to out

will induce flowering no matter wat time of year

unless u correspond indoor light to outdoor photoperiod..

good luck

id be getting a light real close to them youngins u got

all the ebst

Cheers Billo. We've had a few days of sun now and I started planting them out but it was not a productive day to say the least. I took a plastic spoon and it broke before I'd even started with the plants, and I kinda massacred the 15 I did put in. It was hard to judge how deep to predig the little planting holes at first too. I tried mcguyvering up all sorts of things but hands seemed best, A spoon would be very best though. Will be better prepared and practised tomorrow

 

Can they take a bit of curry in terms of rough transplanting like these ones had? Thanks and g'nite.

Hey Npk welcome to OS.

 

I think that needing any kinda implement to transplant seedings is really unnecessary Just scope them out with your fingers with a bit soil and plant. It wont matter too much if you touch the roots or not. Just don't over handle the thing. The more you do the more you will see how rubust they really are.

 

Good luck

Try using a strong pointy stick to dig the planting holes (called a dibble)...you can mound up soil or mulch if the seedling needs it...

Better luck!
