Today I thinned the tomato seedlings to one plant per cell.
The fourth six pack is basil, which I thinned to a few plants per cell.
I also up-potted the first tabasco and Thai pepper seedlings into larger silicone six packs. I'm not crazy about those, the silicone is too floppy. I bought them because after using and washing them, they can be sterilized in the dishwasher. If the six pack is kept on a tray, it might be OK.
I'm hesitant to use the potting soil. It is Miracle Gro branded I bought on Amazon. The last plants I up-potted in it were carnations. They got some kind of root rot and died in a few days. But that might be because I used plastic pots from the shed, snd didn't clean them well. I will see how these do. Usually, when I start peppers they look kind of puny and weak, then I up pot them and they start to grow much better. Given the unknowns, these are kind of an experiment.
