Well it's non-scientific and I am cheating. I use young seedlings in the growth phase from cell packs and the Nursery seedlings are in 4 inch pots. So mine once in the ground have a longer growth phase and generally end up with better roots. But I do have to jab people in the ribs sometimes and prove to them those giant beautiful seedlings you see in the stores are not worth the extra money spent.
