Katsu Seeds Celestial Tremors

Both plants are 3.25" tall. Over the course of the week, I removed the cotyledons and the first nodes and one fan leaf. I plan on mainlining this run and instead of chopping off all the growth when I do the first topping, I figured I would slowly prep each plant to reduce stress and spend less energy on parts of plants that are being removed. I lifted the soil block from the cup to pull the roots back into the cup that grew thru the drainage holes on celestial tremors #2, but was unable to with #1. Celestial Tremors #1 has wild roots still growing thru the bottom.
