media When do you take plants out of the jiffy tray?

[etothepii]

They have sprouted with 2-3 leaves. Still very small. I have pots and potting soil waiting. When is the right time?

I like to transplant when roots appear coming out the bottom of the pot.
I'm not sure with Jiffys. Are there roots evident?

Don't wait too long after the first set of true leaves.

If you wait longer, the plants will have developed long/enough roots to invade into the mesh netting that surrounds the plug, and when you go to transplant them you will have to rip and tear these roots.

It's painful!
