Hey guys me again. So if u saw my last post u know i was worried my seedings wouldnt sprout. Well one of em did within the last 30 mins( been checking) an just put it under the CFL. THE ONLY THING IS..this one sprouted at the edge of the pot?? Not in the center where i planted it..wtf? Will this be a problem? I was gonna have to transplant it anyway but still.
Anyone?

The roots will find the soil where it is. You really don't need to center it, especially since you will be transplanting it anyway.

Thanks! I always thought if they werent centered the roots may fuck up and die or something. Plus when should i transplant it? Its currently in a small plastic pot i found. Considerably larger than a red dixie cup i used previously(which worked for quite a while).

the spot isnt that important
when you replant i would put the plant in the sink/bucket and allow it to sit in the water for 20 min or more up to 1.5 hr and water the it also plain h2o so its like a huge storm down pour and teh soil is half under water and half not it will trick the plant and should keep it from going into shock and stunting it growth

also the less replants the faster it grows so go get a end game pot and replant as you can but not before the 2nd week

sorry man but you are incorect, transplanting plants does not create any stress. your method is a bit whack and unessecary. the reason plants stop vertical growth after a transplant is because they are "getting thier foot in the door" of thier new home and concentrating on root growth now that they have the room.

I would agree. I transplant with normal, about half dry, moisture. The root ball can fall apart if it's too wet and heavy. In my experience, if the rootball isn't greatly abused the plant will take to the new soil immediately and you will see a day or two of slow/no growth max.
