yes, but transplant it to a pot that you think will be the largest you will need throughout the duration of it's growth. Transplanting a lot can stress the plant and stunt growth, so try to transplant it just once.... Good luck

[elway07]

oh also...do not leave roots exposed....take from one straight into another!!

cant see why anyone would need to transplant a five day old plant but have no idea what you are using for a pot.
they dont need much soil for the first couple of weeks a seedling starter tray with the small square holes or small rockwool cubes is plenty and wouldnt be concerned if you saw some rooots coming out of the drainage holes.

Roots already? Whoa. My plant is 5 days old, and 6 inches tall. It's already starting it's 2nd pair of serrated leaves. I'm kind of concerned about transfering mine as well, once those 2nd set of leaves fully show up. I've been told that a plant isn't supposed to mature this fast. But I yet to see roots. I'm using peat pellets for my seedling for about 3 weeks...unless I absolutely HAVE to transfer, due to this rigerous growth. 6 inches in 5 days. Shit. Lmao. I've already had to tie the stem to a support because of this. It's nuts.
