IMHO, your seed start timing could improve next time. I try to get my seedlings in when they're about 4-5" tall. You'll def need to pot up ASAP if late May is your transplant goal. Roots are likely already getting cramped in.

I'm guessing that's gonna be a 2x (double) mega bloom.

Yea I'm new at this so I agree with all including the sarcasm ;-) Imagine if I had started 8 weeks prior to my last frost date like most articles state, they'd all be dead by now

Maybe you can transition them outdoors. This will slow down the growth. Put a floating row cover on them if you don't expect any hard frost. There's always the 5 gallon competition (is it going on facebook?)

After next week maybe as I have plenty of row cover, but, current forecast is for mid 20s at night next week

I upsized 7 of 10 plants tonight. The others were slightly smaller so I used that as an excuse to break up the work. Other than being bone dry from baking in sun all day yesterday, roots were not too crowded
