Mark,
I've got over 10,000 pepper seedlings seeded in my greenhouse right now in
various size plug trays, most are 288 cell size. What I usually do is wait
for at least 2 true leaves, (not coytldons) and also a nice root system
before I start transplanting to larger cell trays, usually 72 or 48 cell
units. Most of the time this is 3-4 weeks after seeding, sometimes longer
for slower growing plant like habeneros.
I have some habs popping up now that were seeded last Saturday. Soil temp is
around 70° F.
