Transplanting super hot pepper seedlings at Gordz Hot Sauce

How we transplant super hot seedlings: 

This is a 72 cell tray of super hots that was planted early January.  When your plants look like this, a mini forest, they are ready for transplanting.  We use recyclable solo cups yearly, as they are deeper than the standard 4" plastic pots, and allow for larger root growth.   

​Here we remove one plug and you can see the root system is coming along nicely.

With some dirt in the bottom of your solo cup add the plug and fill in around it and make sure to press the dirt down and bottom water post planting. Simple, eh! 

Here we have a transplanted seedling ready to be put in a tray and set under the grow lights.  The lights make them thirsty, so water often!
