Decided not to transplant tomatoes to permanent spot just yet. The root weren't near as extensive as I thought they would be. Made cups with drain holes on side to create a small reservoir in the bottom which should hold a little hydro solution and keep the little guys from drying up if I'm late on watering. After looking at this pic I may have needed to put the holes a bit higher on the cup. When filling with perlite and watering in there is a fair bit of dust that settles out thus maybe filling up this shallow of a space. I'll keep an eye on them and if needed I'll re-do. Holes were made by heating a 16d nail with a propane torch while being held with vise-grips and then it will slide right in.
