Nah they were in a smaller pot, I just put them into those ones earlier in the night before thinking it might not be best.
I start in red solo cups, then a few weeks later some bigger plastic pots still less than a gallon size (sorry don't know the true size) then I transplant them into their third and final home between 3 and 10g smart pots!
Look like soil mites
Those plants are so tiny they should be in solo cups of something of similar pots for at least a few more weeks should be a month or more be froe they see a pot that big! Not a whole lot you can do your going to have some problems!
Well u can put plants in their final pots of any size as long as you dont over water. But I was thinking because I'm doing a ROLS it's probably different as I want to keep the soil alive and a pot this big I would have to keep letting dry out as to not drown the plants.
Exactly which is why you kinda can't start the plant in any size! Either your micro life will lessen bc of the dry pot or the plant will drown bc it's too wet it's really hard to get a happy medium when the pots so big and the plants so small!
I pretty much figured that to be the case, I just thought I'd ask to make sure
Similar regime here and I finish in 2 gallon waste baskets. Hard to not overwater with tiny seedlings in big pots and mine would not take the richness of my mix.
The heat is just the microbial action taking place from the added materials. I find that it is slightly warm for a week or so. But have planted into this without any issues right away as well. I think people are more so concerned about the added amendments becoming available that longer is better. But if you have decent soil that is being reused then there should be enough in there to give what it needs until the rest gets broken down.
