I potted up 12 cuttings about 2 months ago. 3 I did in 1 gallon cans the rest in 4 inch pots. The gallon can ones are green and lush and 3 times the size of the 4 inchers. I am regretting I did not pot them all up in gallon cans. Tomorrow I hope to find the time to move them up. I find brugs put down a long root, even seedlings. If you can find pots that are narrow but very deep,they seem to be happy.

For my seedlings I overpot the germinated seed right in those big cups that McDonalds used to sell their McSalads in. They are much deeper than 4 inch pots but about the same width. They quickly fill the cup with roots. It takes about 1 month. I think that is quick but maybe I am wrong. It would have been quicker but I just finally gave them light. They were slow until I took them from the dark window sills and put them under lights.

Mine are all inside the house so it is about 70 in here, so maybe what JT said is what is helping me out here.
