Ok I way under estimated my basil germanation I have around 300+ basil seedlings in my seeding containers(Strawberry containers) and I was wondering when is the best time to transplant them? there getting a lil crowded.
hello Mountain Juggalo, I used to plant basil in containers last year and they were very crowded when they germinated. But when they grew up with the second couple of leaves I carefully transplanted them to grow 5 in a pot(I grew up them inside)and when i pulled them out I left some soil on the roots. If yours are passed second leaves you can transplant them. That is from my experience
Floret has given you some sound advice there MJ. Always try to give your seedlings a chance to form their first 'real' leaves before transplanting. :-D Good luck and do let us know how the thinned out seedlings do.
