t3 - well said!

Proper watering is key to avoiding rootballs, and even root growth.. thus avoiding the need to transplant...

I especially agree with the growth spurt after needed transplanting...

thorough watering and then allowing the doil to dry allows the roots to utlize the medium to its foolest...

Garden Knowm Reviewed by Garden Knowm on . Why transplant? Is there a benefit to starting your seedlings out in a small pot and than in the end converting them into much larger pots? I know the disadvantage is that it could possibly stress out the plant during transplanting. My question is why dont people just start there seedling out in pot that is big enough throughout the whole grow process? Thanks. Rating: 5
