One more tidbit, kill all but the better, healther plant of each cell. Keep one per cell at this point.

Simply just cut most of the plant off, ensuring not do damage the neighbors.

A 36 Inch cell is pretty big and the peppers are too large yet. One way to ensure that your plant isn’t outgrowing its house is to check the bottom of the tray, do you see roots, and lots of them?

If you do then the plant is getting pot bound and would need to stretch out more in a larger container.

You will probably be ok for another couple of weeks based on previous experience.

I’m sorry that this is jumping the gun on your blog but…

I planted 3 seeds per cell on March 1 - in the size of those 36-cell seedling trays. My cayennes are already seemingly getting too big (1.5″ tall) and it’s only been three weeks. The white habs are well one their way, too.

Do I need to transplant? Should I wait? They are only now starting to make the second set of leaves (barely). I am very nervous about transplanting as I’ve never done it before. But I’m afraid to wait too long, too. HELP!
