seedling transplant
I have a bunch of tomatos and peppers that I satrted from seed. They are all around 2" to 3" tall. I have 3 to 4 starts in each 1-1/2" square pod that sits on top of a wicking mat system. How do you know when it's time to transplant to the next size up container. I hope to save as many plants as possible when I do this. I didnt expect such a high germination ratio when I seeded the pods. This website is an incredible source of info. Thanks to you all!

Well, ordinarily I also like to wait until they have the second pair of true leaves; the seedlings are getting a bit sturdier then. But your little plants are very crowded. I might go ahead and get them separated and give them more breathing room once they have the first pair of true leaves opened up.
