no shit, I hate hitting like when you see comrades suffering

Exactly! But I don't want you to think I don't care so I hit like anyway and then just make a stupid comment about it lol.

@912GreenSkell , so day 10 from seed Blue Dream first root near bottom of instatransplant pot. I picked Blue Dream for the test because this strain holds the speed record in the greenhouse. If I drop seed to the 33 pots 10 days before desired transplant date I'll have a couple of days I figure to get the job done. And, if I have to reseed any pots I'll still be in a good zone. Now this little gal can solo to finish in the window, her job done.

The cold weather will pass, trailanimal.
And the sun will always come out from behind the clouds.

Yesterday I was watching some hot chile grow vids.
They were talking about using this kind of insta-transplant pot.
One had a cool idea --
put a little stone or pebble in the bottom of the outside pot.
It keeps the inside pot off the flat bottom.
Gives some more room for roots at the bottom (and sides).
They can grow out of the insta pot, but have enough dark space to grow.

FYI.

Sounds right to me!! I saw some bottom roots around day 6 with one of the test strains. Maybe next year i will buy some 5" pots and see how long i think is ideal for them, as i think they are ideal size for my setup

I made the bottom holes in my intstas by inserting my knife tip through the bottom from the inside of the solo, 1/2 twist peels bottom outward making holes and leaves about 3/8" plastic legs that keeps inside pot elevated off of outside pot for drainage

A good way to do it is grab a stack of cups and use a drill with a 3/8" bit and drill the hole stack at once, you can do 5-6 cups at a time making short work of that part of the project!

To shorten the workload even further, instead of cutting out the "side windows" with an Xacto, instead is a dremel rotary tool with a cutoff disc. Very speedy, but be careful!!
