Also, how hard do you guys compress the Coco in the cup? I keep it pretty loose but and it seems when I water it heavier it makes the Coco level drop some. Should it be pretty firm?
I like to keep it airy. Once the seedlings roots get accomplished then I’ll add some coco and lightly pack it.
Sometimes they get a little leggy and need a couple of inches of coco for support.

Oh that’s a good idea to add some later. My rapid rooters are always higher than the Coco after a few waters, this would prob helps cover the top roots too. Thanks!

So when you guys transplant from the solo cup to a larger container, do you break up the soil some or just put right into the new container?

right in the bigger pot with some mycro
Okay that’s what I have been doing, I didn’t know if breaking up the soil would help it acclimate faster or potentially hurt the roots

Don’t break the soil.
If you plan to do a solo cup transplant to a bigger one in the middle of flowering, try to touch the roots as little as possible, direct to the pot, as the colleague says, a little of myco and keep going… and continue with the same nutrient routine as before the transplant
Perfect, just what I was doing. Thanks for the help

the last transplant is only to avoid having to water so often, you will be more relaxed and the plants appreciate the new soil too.
Yep, plus the plants are able to get bigger because the roots can grow more!
