You're only a week in, starting over in a smaller pot may seem like a waste of time but the added growth and more healthy root system will pay off sooner than you think.

I'd keep those going and get some other ones started in rapid rooters, into a solo cup with cocoperlite.

After a couple of weeks you'll see the difference and you can thin out the bunch, keep the best, or keep em all.

cheers

Feed them right from day 1 and follow cocoforcannabis and you'll do just fine!

These are 7 days since sprouting.

these are getting fed twice daily with 100ml each time. I get about 30% runoff each time.

those containers are air-pot propagators, approx 1 litre. 2 weeks in those then into 2 gallon airpots for the rest of the ride

30%runoff after 100 ml. That doesn't sound right to me. Soil could be that dry it's running straight through. Try to water really slow so soil absorbs some

its not soil, its cocoperlite (60/40), 30% is a perfect amount of runoff.

it stays wet and each feeding brings fresh oxygen into the root zone.

the plants love it!

stoner science.

you can transplant anything. its all about not distrubing the plant when you do it. If you're gentle and do it right. no worries.

if your style is more like a bull ina china shop. maybe transplanting isnt right for you.
