@Treenoded, amazing! I originally planted within the final pot (3 gal), and that’s doing fine but I was growing more concerned that I couldn’t water to runoff (because then the coco would stay damp for days and days)...not to mention the rootball would look all kinds of odd... so...
You inspired me to take my tiny tiny seedlings and move them into solo cups (I figure, they’re only 6 days old, so either they hate it and die — or they take it fine and thrive) nestled within the 3 gal pot. I basically took three cups... the innermost one has no bottom and has a slit all the way up the side(makes it super easy to poop into the coco and just slide the cup out)...then outside of that, there’s a solo cup with tons of drainage holes, and outside that, it’s just a regular cup with a few small rocks to catch the runoff and give a little extra space for the water. I love your trick of making sure the coco you transplant into is the same humidity and nutrient solution. I’ll definitely be borrowing that idea when it comes time to transplant.
