Be gentle when transplanting and try to not mess with the roots if possible. If you are gentle then you could have no shock. I have never had transplant shock thankfully but I am very gentle and when putting in new pot don't tamp down the bottom soil or whatever you use, then sprinkle your soil etc.. around your root ball or roots depending on root development, then lightly tamp when all your soil is put in. Water till damp and let let it do its thing. Superthrive or a cloning solution like MBferts sells helps with transplanting as well. Not needed, but helps.

Miracle grow African violot something like that.
Best to use a soiless mix and 16oz party cups to start seeds,after they are a foot tall transplant,in about 1 week your plant could use about 2ml per gallon grow nute.As they get bigger and yellow shows this means bump up the nutes,you need a ppm pen to check on the juice.
200ppm is safe for the 12" and work on up to 400ppm...in flower drop the nitro and boost up on k.head into the 800ppm range

I have just dumped a pot like that on it's side many times to seperate plants,with no damage.

I run coco and I run about 200 PPM higher than the ranges you mention with great results. Obviously less is better until you know what your plants want. I rarely have any plants show signs of too much except for some sativa doms. I typically do around 400 for the teens, 700 for veg, and 1000 in flower tapering off in late flower.

Don't go with mbferts.com, I ordered 5 products from them and only 4 came in. I emailed them about there mistake of not sending me what I paid for and they spat in my face. There an untrustworthy nutrients dealer. The Stretch Stopper I ordered and paid for never came in the mail, a value of $30. They refused to correct there mistake and called me liar. I'll stick with bulk of it means I don't have to deal with there I professionalism and it was all over a $30 Stretch Stopper, what business does that. It would have been so easy for them to own there mistake.
