What are those plants that are yellowed up? I dont suggest doing the tiered thing brother, transplant your plants. Autos get rootbound and the double cup method can cause rootbounding effects, decrease yields, and generally less healthy plants. I never understood why people do that, unless you purposely want smaller plants. In fact, I suggest you try starting directy in Earthbox Junior next time. And dont worry about transplanting the Rootmakers. Push on all of the sides and bottom, back and forth to loosen the soil from the sides. Plopp it upside down like a sandcastle in your hand. Works perfectly. No need to cut them or ruin them. Wait 10-14 days, they pop out fine. Not longer than 14 days, to avoid hunger. Good luck brother. Peacex slow
