I transplant small seedlings from the seed trays directly to plastic 6 paks where each cell is about 2 X 2 inches, and they are grown in those cells until 6-9 inches tall before hardening off and setting out.
I never potted up b'c I found that the more you pot up the larger the root system, which is a fragile fibrous root system, which can break apart easily.
So I prefer putting out the rootbound ones from the 6 paks since I've found the root system stays intact and almost explodes to form new roots ASAP.
