Hey 6'ers,
I have some beans popping from a peat tray, the one recommended
by Giggles, and I have a question.
First, the tray is very cool. The wicking mat does indeed bring the peat
to a perfect moisture level, and it keeps it there.
I am finding that one of my sprouts, the Kosher Kush, is getting
really tall, and I would like to transplant it.
The trouble is that it is only 7-10 days old. I am seeing roots from
the bottom.
Can one transplant a healthy seedling? I have found that most plants
have a point in their development before which they can be very
sensitive to env changes. ...and also when they can keel over with
no hope of recovery. It is like the plant has no defenses yet.
I am also not certain how I will extract the young plant.
I have clones in the other side of the mat, and I will be taking them out
when they have roots enough to make it easy.
I am thinking that I will start by scooping them out with something small.
Any comments appreciated.

P.S. This is a couple of days ago. You can see the KK:
