I use the same cups and have always had good luck. I typically
start
in the 72-cell two-part trays and then transplant into cups when
the
seedlings get to be decent size. The cups then fit back into the
trays in eight rows of three. This allows me to continue bottom
watering after the transplant.

finish
this Ph.D.)
