Test Grow #2

Sunday 06-02-2022 Repotted seedlings in three 7 Gallon pots and two 3~ Gallon pots. By law, I can only grow 5 plants at one time so I split the pots with the 2 healthiest seedlings and chose the healthier seedlings from the remaining 3 pots and repotted them. Good rainfall in the week, don't remember if I watered during the week. Seems like slight burning on a few leaves after DE earth treatment. Leaves seem slightly yellow, will monitor throughout coming week. Also need to monitor ants invading pots. Water today was 700ml per plant from tap water with 3.5 ml Ph Down - S added to five gallon bucket with nutrients added to one gallon jug filled with Ph'd water. My intention was to Ph tap water with 1.5 ml per gallon but forgot that and used 3.5 ml for the entire 5 gallons. This is my first time ever transplanting such small plants in such big pots. My concern was to not limit taproot growth as is so often mentioned in forums. My personal experience growing other kinds of plants would say this is way too early but I am trying something new. Instinct tells me to just water in a small moat that would be slightly larger than the diameter of the original seedling pot. The alternative would be to water the entire pot and allow it to drain to waste then allow it to dry out appropriately. My concerns are the pots stay too wet because the roots haven't expanded enough to draw water from the pot and the subsequent growth of baddies. I will ask that question of the forum.
