DIY double solo cups? leggy thin stems.

[d4n]

So i messed up and had a bunch of seedlings under a flouro that was up way too high, needles to say i have some leggy bitches now. I'm thinking of taking 2 solo cups and tape them together and cut off the top for a double cup, anyone ever do this? I know people bury the stems when they're lanky so i think they'll be fine. They are tied now with a better circulation under a mh so hopefully the stretch is done. I'd just put them in pots but they're destined for outdoors.

Anyway, just curious if this has been done cause it was a eureka moment for me hahaha.

Just get a fan blowing on them closely with the light dropped a ton, they'll toughen up in a week and a half, two weeks.. how long before they go outside?

I think last frost in my area is the end of may so that's when they're headed out. Just wanna get a nice head start and sex them beforehand, thanks wg.

If you're going outside with 'em, don't worry about the long stems...just dig a deeper hole and bury them up to the first set of leaves. The stalk that ends up underground will grow new roots!
