RickCorey said:I think I'm potting mine up or transplanting them 'way too late. I try to wait until the root ball in the six-pack insert or plug cell is solid enough to pop out without crumbling.

Maybe I should aim for the other extreme: prick them out while the root is too small to rip apart.

That's what I try to do too- prick them out when young and small, if they're sown into a common container. If they're in cells, I wait until they really are getting root bound.

I think it should be easier to prick them out of vermiculite than out of soil though, without damaging the seedling.
