Grow Mediums Does turning the pot upside to view rootball shock the plant?

[SweetSkunk]

Hi all,

I have planted 6 seedlings into small pots.
I realised the pots I used were not suitable and as such needed to report them into more suitable containers.
I have already once turned the pots upside down and removed the pot to view the 'root ball' (very young still).

would doing this have shocked the plants?
The pots I want to put them in are much of the same size and no roots will be touched or Coco removed.

would just like to know people's take on this

cheers

you dont need to do that. i am sure they dont like you taking them out of the pot. do that only if you are repotting or you have some sort of issue.

Nah your cool. Just transplant them and move on. You could let the root mass develop a little more to bind the medium then transplant as that’ll make it easier. I take it your moving them onto too bigger pots yeah?

Are they autos or photos, autos may not take kindly to transplant and you could stunt them. Photos are ok to transplant.

I transplant all my plants, autos and photos alike. My autos love being transplanted.
