Suffice it to say, while sitting in my house during January, stuck due to all the snow I decided I couldnt wait to plant seeds for two more months, so I planted my peppers and tomatoes a couple months early. Now, for lack of money, space and a few other things I'm kind of stuck in a rut with what to do with my quite large for cup size plants. They're in 16 ounce cups, and the tomatoes are really being hit hard with root bound problems. I know that most likely they cannot wait another good month to be transplanted outside and I'm on here asking for any suggestions. Do you think just moving up to like a 22 ounce cup would make any difference what so ever? Or if it would even be worth it? The tomatoes are looking quite sickly and I hate seeing them being stuck like this. I planted 6 plants in pots outside, so I can move them in when it gets cold at night, but I'm going to have to wait for atleast a month for these ones stuck in my room. I honestly dont think the tomatoes will be able to make it that long without getting 'sick' to say the least. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also, even with these small cups the plants are almost out of room. They keep getting entangled with each other, sometimes falling. As you can see from the pics many leaves have fallen and its getting to become quite the pain in thee ol ass'. I can move probably 5 or 6 plants up to bigger pots say like 1 gallon, but then the other 8 wouldnt get able to get under my lights so it would be a big sacrifice. Like a jungle in here.
I couldnt help myself.. now its coming back to bite me in the arse!
