I am clueless, I started something like 30 seeds, after several weeks about 29 sprouted. I have 3 that are looking halfway decent, the rest all died.
I would not transplant them at that stage. Or, at least, do not break the soil around their roots. They are best transplanted dormant.Thanks for the replies ,they are only about about 3 inches tall , I will transplant then and see how it goes
All nutrients are salt. Put fresh manure on a seedling and the osmotic pressure will dehydrate it just as well. Pure urine is a lot more saline than what miracle grow tells you to dilute their fertilizers t.I don't like the chemical fertilizers either. They are full of salts that will burn your young tree.
Try the organic way is better for me. If you are healthy then save some urine or buy the compost
at the store for the nitrogen. If I were you I would put them into the ground and shade them for
a few days. Then they can take the full sun once established. I transplanted mine into the ground
at 2" or so. Now they are 6" and growing fast cuz I put my urine for the nitrogen plus kelp meal solution all mixed in
a 5 gal bucket to water them weekly. If you find that the urine is gross then use the kelp meal, it is organic anyways.
They will not grow much inside a small pot cuz the main root needs lot of space to grow deep into the soil. A small
pot will restrict its growth. Then in the winter time cover them after their leaves fall off just like you're covering your
bee hives to overwinter them. Try to transplant 1 to compare them in a few weeks. You still have the time to do so.
