The reason I prefer to transplant is that it promotes more efficient use of the soil space. Roots seek their boundary at the edge of the pot and then mass there, leaving alot of unused dirt in the middle of the pot. When you transplant, you encourage a stair-step structure in the root mass, causing the roots to be more evenly distributed in the pot.

To add one more thing though, as a *commerical* grower I probably wouldn't use pots at all, but that wasn't the question.

My Grow Room is 10ft x 5ft 2. I've bought 10 seeds of 3 different strains based on popularity and yield. No point growing something no one wants to buy, or plants that don't yield much. I'm interested in making $. 10 White Widow, 10 Purple Power, 10 Northern Lights (all feminised seeds) 3. Was going to use existing Fluro battens, but with what it would cost me Rating: 5
