When does transplanting to 4" seem like a good time
My definition of a "good time" is friends, pizza and beer. :lol:

I would transplant now, but I said that already. :wink:

Potted up!
Let me know how there are. When should I bottom water them again?

I remember from long ago to not water then after potting up? Avoid shock?

Thanks Eric!
I'll save it for a couple days then. Afterwards, I'll soak them in a tray for ~10 minutes.

After this they will go into 1 gallons. After that, to their final container.
How can I tell when it's ready for 1 gallons? If roots go out the drainage holes?

I would skip the one gallon and go right to the final container. Couple weeks or so.

If you say so.
Then I'll just use the 1 gallons as 4" containers for other plants then.

I would wait about 2 weeks from the first pic to pot up. You want to have the roots just hit the cell wall before removing them from the cell.
