One of the seeds that I thought didn’t pop, has popped ! How dangerous would it be to try to transplant & which one ? This is either a Blueberry or Jealousy sprout, as I recall them not popping within a week or so.

Are you wanting both? If so, the sooner you can separate them the better for both. I would try to remove the smaller one which has very little roots at this time, plus if you’re gonna lose one might as well be this one. Hope both survive for you though.

OK, I’ll get on that pronto. I think I’ve done it before with tomato sprouts, but those seeds weren’t $10 each

Yep, before the roots get tangled together for sure. Once that happens then you chance bigger problems.

Allrighty then, it’s done. Luckily, the stems were further apart than they look in the pic. I have the other seedlings in a window; I’m guessing this stays out of direct sunlight for a bit ?

I used a coke spoon I retired @ 25 years ago to dig the smaller one out.

I am not gentle when re-planting. Most recover, regardless of me.
Still working for the routine needed for grow life, still learning and sharing.

That’s how this one started life
Somehow planted 2 in the same hole
I carefully pulled it out tap root and all prepared a small pot of dirt
Made a hole with a pencil there she is today
Ok yesterday
May slow it down at first but it will be fine

I would treat it like any other plant it’s going to slow down in the conditions it was already in if you restrict light it will just intensify that

OK, here are the two culprits after their “separation” The one in the clear cup is the “transplantee”
I’m waiting on an electrician to finish up some wiring in the basement this week before I put the plants in the grow “room”. Right now, they’re in the window from @ 8AM to 5PM, then under a florescent light. Probably go straight to 12/12 once these contractors wrap up here. They started in June !
Ouch.
I have to quit growing, to bring in the electrician, furnace guy, and bug man.
Not yet, I hope.
Good job on the separation.
Clear solo cups that fit inside the red cups, allow for root gazing.
Which, as I suspect, is foreplay for bud porn.
I rescued this lady.

Okay ! Got 5 of the 7 seedlings in 5 gal ACE buckets without much of a fuss. I could’ve sworn I had more of them…good thing the contractors left a bunch of joint compound pails for me to re-purpose.
Soil used is: Coast of Maine Bar Harbour Potting Mix, along with some worm castings, peat & perlite.
The seedlings are : 3 Doug’s Varin, 2 Runtz/Oreoz, 1 Blueberry & the one orphan is either Jealousy or Blueberry.
Also, been dealin’ with this mf’er for the last few days. Ain’t been too bad, but man, do I get tired a lot quicker, going up & down my cellar stairs.
Looks better now, flowers, as in Female white plenty!
Wife got confirmed, Shingles.
Prayers for all us, life is difficult and challenging.
Hot soldering iron will burn/melt holes in your whole buckets, but don’t breathe the off-gas of melting plastic. More holes, the merrier, I practice.

18 days later, these are the two transplants…
Here’s the whole garden:
Back row is: Runtz/Oreoz…BlueBerry…RuntzOreoz.
Middle row is all Doug’s Varin
Front “row” is Jealousy.
I just flipped to 12/12 on March 1st & of course the electrical inspector came the next day. He didn’t even bother to check the breaker box in the cellar, but I still had to do a guerrilla camouflage job the night before, as my grow “room” is just a corner of my cellar, sectioned off.

Wanted to state this again. If not, later in your grow you will be kicking yourself in tha ass. Those buckets need alot of holes in the bottom and several around the sides at the bottom. If you do not have them, then your soil will become waterlogged at the bottom and the roots will drown and you will have a bunch of big dead plants. Good lookin yungins thus far tho.!!
Yes and vapors from melting plastic are toxic.
Holding my breath, well practiced.
