Too much rain here last year.
When is your predicted last frost date?April around the 20th if I can hold off. I like it to be in the 60s during the day.
I have to wait for that, and I believe it's not until May something or other.

I will not put my plants out for good on 4-20. I put them on the steps of my porch for the day and bring them in during the night.

What size solo cups do you use for seedlings? 12oz 18oz or 24oz I used peat pots for seedlings last year but never again.
I use the 18's, just because that's what I have in "stock"...
but any of those sizes will work .

Good morning all 420 members another rainy day here, but next week looks like it will be a nice week with temps in the 60s. The warmer weather is on its way.
I had snow today. This is rucking fidiculousGood morning all 420 members another rainy day here, but next week looks like it will be a nice week with temps in the 60s. The warmer weather is on its way.
You could get 16oz colouredand say 10oz clear.
Poke holes in the side and the bottom of the clear ones.
Drop 10mm 1/4” of perlite in the bottom of the coloured ones. Fill the clear one with a layer of perlite and then your seedling medium. A Potting Soil with heavy perlite mix would be good.
Top water once. Then just water the perlite in the bottom your coloured pot. I call it a SWICKIE. Its part sip part swick. You can never overwater like this. You just add water/nutes to the perlite “res” until it just starts to float.
You can pull the clear one out and check on root growth and water with a syringe into the res super quick. Never too much. I’ll pull out some photos if you like. But we’ve run 50+ seedlings at time like that. Watering takes less than 5 minutes, the right amount every time. And root growth is exceptional.
