        Thank you, @Sheal and @Lolimac

        Going to give it a little longer, then I'm going to reward them with a pot of their own to grow up in :heehee:

          :)

          I wouldn't rush, they probably have not made much root yet, and you might break off the tiny roots if you pot on too early. Perhaps wait until you can see some roots appearing at the bottom of the pot's drainage holes. If the first pot you pot-on has roots that are too small then delay for the next pot. I expect their buds will be breaking now, or soon, so they will need light and some very dilute feed to keep them going.

            Thank you! @Kristen

            I shall do that :) (No roots showing, so far!)

            I may even get organised enough to take some pix (camera missing; lead for recharging on "hold") :redface:
