Hi,i already asked a similar question to this in another thread but it got no reply so i decided to try again here.My qestion is,is it realy nesecary to start my plants in small pots?...i thought if i planted my seeds into large pots (One seed per pot) i would avoid stunting the plants growth,which i have read,can happen after repotting,ie:the plant goes into shock???????????

id say the bigger the better my friend

Thanks for the reply doc.Going to plant directly into large pots.



Come on you reds...The triple awaits.

I plant direcly into large pots when they go outside. This takes the hassle out of repotting again later. And like you said don't want to put them through shock again or mess with those tender roots. The less I have to get my hands dirty the better.

greatfor outdoors but indoors.

start in a cup move to a 1 gallon then to the final 5 gallon.


thats how i do

Starting in larger pots also means that you can fit less plants in a given area at the start, makes it harder to select the best plants if you're only growing two in 5 gallon pots rather than sprouting ten in cups and selecting the best.

Thanks for the replies guys.Anyone wishing to follow this thread should go here :one pot for all

I use either peat pods or the cups that desolve and allow roots to penetrate, I place seedling or rooted clone in these then place in final growing medium & container, with this method I rarely have to transplant and I can LST as soon as plant has 4-6 nodes.
