Germination/Growth Question

[bkbbudz]

Why not just germinate and grow the whole cycle in the same pot or medium? Isn't the whole point of indoor gardening to mimic nature as closely as possible? I hope this is not a stupid question, I have just never seen it asked or answered.

You can absolutly grow this way ifin yu like I have done it in the past just because my time lines fur that grow were goin to be tight fur time and I didnt have time to be worrin bout transplantin an such but most pilgrems have a series of stages and things they be doin in each stage they like tendin to to ensure there plants be all they can be. Anyways pilgrem no such thin as a stupid question ifin yu dont now the answer. Good luck to yu and yurn.

I'm not sure if I completly understand your question but here I go;
The point of transplanting and not growing in just one medium'ish sized plant from seedling to harvest is, that a big pot will be "too much" for a seedling. It takes more water and it holds onto the water longer. A seedling no way needs that much water and that will harm the roots and the plant.

Hope I answered your question, and that's all info I got from posting/getting answers and reading :):jointsmile:

Thanks, that helps. I just thought that I don't really see people germinating and transplanting in nature. But, what you said makes sense.
