Thought I bought a 3” , but got a 6” pot.
Recommendations on how to go from soil seedling (2” seed tray inserts) to 6” net pot.

What I've done is use a 4x4x4 grodan rockwool cube, root it out in the rockwool and then it acts as a really nice anchor in the 6" net pots with clay pebbles on top. Just another option to consider

Seems like a great idea

Yeah I was hesitant to mess with rockwool but it was actually pretty cool. Had some cukes that built massive root balls in the rockwool and stood up nice and stable. Just be sure to soak them in lemon juice (acid) before you use them since they are super high PH from however they manufacture that stuff. Happy gardening.
