Everyone on the Internet has all the qualifications / nonsense you claim to have...I get it you're a legend...my yields over the last 25 years have been just fine...g/l
I grow using the KISS method...you can call this method Of transplanting I use nonsense all you want...plants can and will be stunted during transplanting...avoiding that was what I was recommending to the OP...what was your contribution again?
Dampening the soil before transplant allows you to compact the soil for stability when you invert the pot...when the soil is dry the soil falling away from the plant will tear the roots damaging the plant
Get some neem oil and spray both up and under the leaves...it's a natural product and is good to have in your arsenal...then see what happens...it's cheap and available in most garden shops...g/l
Puppy face...just continue on as best you can and get as much out of her as you can...the stretching is the thing that needs to be addressed next time...look into LST training and it will eliminate the stretch and compact the plant...g/l
