they were transplanted in 1801 shallow flats for their first transplant. Thats 18 cells per flat. This gives them plenty of space between each plant to receive enough sunlight to keep the stems stalky instead of leggy. They can grow in this flat for 2 1/2 weeks depending on the weather. The warmer it is the faster they grow. The cooler it is the slower they grow. If they grow too fast, I will have to trim off the lower leaves to allow more sunlight to the stems so they dont get leggy. Trimming off the lower leaves also slows down the upward growth by making the plants concentrate on stem growth.
