Hi,
I have a question about transplanting, in all the grows I had ever done (30 years ago) I always planted in enough soil medium to grow from start to finish without transplanting because I studied it caused very high stress, enough to kill the plant. I am experiencing this with my <a href="1st Grow in 30 yrs 12/12 HPS from Seed">current grow</a>
I had to transplant 7 seedlings from the peatpot's into a long/deep flowering box and you can tell they went into SHOCK no growth for 24 hours and after 48 hours you can tell they are still suffering because they only produced 1/8 to 1/4" growth on average This is not good especially since even though the peatpot's were drying out fast the plants were growing 1/4 to 1/2" per day.
So my question is why transplant when the obvious results are shock and stunned growth wouldn't it be best to always plant in a enough soil medium so it can grow uninhibited??
