Seedling outdoors?

If you want to do seeds outdoors, plant them directly in the soil. Those little cups get way too hot in the sun and will cook the roots.
Actually, most pots are a disaster for roots if they get any direct sunlight. It takes only about 15 minutes to bake the roots on the sun side dead in an average pot.

this is part of the secret why people using giant grow bags get such large trees, the root system gets protected and temperature managed.

I planted about 20-25 soaked seeds a couple weeks ago directly into beds. I had 3 so so looking sprouts when I went to check on them this week. Unless you have lots of seeds, starting in Solo cups will do you so much better.

At this point, your seedlings should be in the soil, pot, or garden where they will be allowed to grow to maturity. Replanting them 2 or 3 times is just going to stunt their growth.

I just top as many times as I can before she flowers (Aug 10-14).
I used to super crop and still do abit, but I always busted off whatever i was trying to massage/pinch so now I tell myself to walk away. Easier said then done.

Either you're 7.5 feet tall or your including the the height of your dirt in the pot. Technically that would be about a 6.5 foot plant and 1 foot of dirt, but either way, your plants are looking good. You might want to boost your nitrogen, some of your leaves are looking a touch pale.
