U def shouldn’t totally saturate pot after transplanting! Either do it before u transplant or if after just do a smaller amount around the edge of pot! The roots grow out searching for moisture so if whole pot is soaked they ain’t growing nowhere at first! Def why plant looked overwatered to u after transplanting it!When I transplanted my seedlings into their second containers. I watered the new medium until runoff, but now I’m not sure I should have watered until runoff, My plants look really overwatered. Is a full soaking of the up-potted medium too much for a little rootball? With no need to search for moisture the roots wont have grow that fast. So by the time the roots hit bottom the moisture will have been sitting for days. No oxygen, settled salts.
Thanks
