What size modules are you using gobs? Not sure if that might make a difference but I have no bother with mine.

I use tiny cells about 1/2" square. One large module has 60 cells. Once there are two leaves I use a thin metal (wire) tent peg to push each plant up and out of the module from underneath. Occasionally one has too much root and sticks but it's rare. The compost and roots come out in a block.

It may have been because your seedlings were in the cells for a bit too long so the roots were huge & tangled - that would explain the yellowing too.... run out of nutrients.

You might well be right, but it wasn't my query.

My apologies gobs.... I guess I was half-awake when I read through the thread.

That doesn't matter a thing. It's just the person with the query might skip what you answer to others.
