That makes a lot of sense too.i was under the impression transplant stress is not really an issue for up potting plants. its more when you dig up an established plant and transplant it to another location because f the high risk of damage to the root zone
Yeah i transplant whenever, straight into new coco light water for 2 days and the off she goes full watering. I'm using intra transfer cups now, so i Germ in coco jiffy > double solo cups with the bottom cut off the inside cup > into 1 gal geo pots with the velcro > then into 8l hempy buckets for 2 weeks then flip. That's the plan anyways nothing gets unsettled the whole way through, gunna run 10 plants each side of my 1.2x2.4I think papasmurf99 is unto it and people transplanting dry plants and brittle roots.
Hydrated roots would be much more pliable and resilient compared to dry easily damaged roots. Just a thought but kinda makes sense.
I have 80 auto seedlings outdoor at the momentIf you want to talk directly to someone. Put @bobqp Is an auto whore
You get big plants out of small potsI can honestly say I’ve never had a plant display transplant stress yet! It seems to me like they start kicking right off within the first 24hrs of the re pot. And I’ve noticed that every time. It makes me wonder what part of moving into a more comfortable set up would be stressful exactly? Anyway they’re just my thoughts.
Transplanted this one last night and she was already pretty wide but today she just spread right out. View attachment 4226994

I know. This time I’m really going to chop out the bottoms. Like last time I did that, but I was still pretty conservative. I’m going to go hell for leather this time lol cos I’m not going thru that helll of manicuring again!! Very close to 3p took me around a month to get thru I reckon. Tsk tskyou must be gentle when transplanting, mine never show stress either. Looks like some more monsters
That's my plan next go aswell, no more shitty bottoms, gunna be ruthlessI know. This time I’m really going to chop out the bottoms. Like last time I did that, but I was still pretty conservative.
