I've never had transplant stress. Ever. If you leave a pot sized hole in the medium, it just slides in. Give it a water to runoff and all is good.Repotting takes a few days maybe even a week to recover growth will slow during this time with an already short window, its also a stressful event for the plant, the more you can leave it alone the better with this light cycle.
leaving it in that container too long can lead to being rootbound based on advice of ''surprised how much root that little pot holds when you repot ''
at that point if you didnt stress flower it will be getting ready too and you would have just fooled around with the roots of a plant getting set to flower....thats stress. Best case scenario yield takes a hit worst case scenario hermie. With veg time sure its ok, 12 12 from seed, I just dont know.
and no your 1 plant you repotting in a 12/12 cycle will not cover 4sq like said above either lights fine.
But Ill just pull up a seat at this point lol
There's nothing to stress if your not some heavy handed goon. I worked at a nursery for years and would transplant hundreds of plants a day, totalling tens of thousands with zero issues, and usually the plants would show a burst of vigor over the following days, not a lack of vigor.
