Transplanting never significantly stunted growth any time I've done it. Just do it right.

Doing it right would entail.............?

Shouldn't really slow it down much if you do it right, but it's always a little bit of a shock to the root system and will usually at least slow growth for a short time, few hours to a day.

Like dont tear any roots, drop it, throw it against the wall, Ect.

 

[Brian11543]

of course not transplanting has also been shown to hinder growth, just sayin

 

[doc H.]

cool i think i can handle that

 

[jesco51]

Lol yeah it's pretty easy just be cautious. From what size pot are you transplating from?

Yeah throwing it against the wall is a bad transplanting technique despite all the hype. It might knock some bugs off though if ya got em'.

lol i always find the opposite is true, a few days after transplanting growth accelerates.(especially when its the right time, when the plants are juuuust about rootbound, like if they were left another week theyd be rootbound) a little superthrive, liquid karma, or rooting solution helps too.
my 2 cents

You should be ok but if you can plant your seed/clone directly into the pot/hole you are going to be growing in untill finish you wont have to worry about transplanting or shocking your girls. Good Luck!

its a 2 or 3 gallon smart pot and i was going to go into a big smart pot, probly big as i can find, 10 gallons seem about right.
