I read you Kath, been there done that,, I learned here and elsewhere how to grow from seed. Think this year is the first time I'm actually getting good results from seed to now.. actually started with a jiffy peat in 72 cell tray. transplanted after secondary true leaves deep in party cups with mg and peat mix..few days ago..today still hardening process but added a drizzle of epsom salt too .. got this watching a youtube video early this am.... but yes not to over do anything for these tiny roots is key while hardening process.
