You really have more to worry about when moving a plant from out to in. How big are they? You Got to think about roots, and their depth, as they have no limit outside. All plants need nutes in or outside. You also have bugs to worry about. Bringing a bunch of crittters into your crib isnt fun.

....As to shock or stunting it because of the environment just make sure you have ample lighting and temps inside

As long as ya steer clear of the roots while digging, no probs! Just make sure if you start using nutes now and you havent been, use only a tiny amount first since the plants are used to not having them. You wouldnt wanna nute burn after a successful transplant!

1. what is the best way to transport into containers. If you can find burlap bag..put plant in bag and bury it..bag and all..it'll breakdown, and no root blockage..

2.will they go into shock from moving them into an indoor environment?
They'll get stressed a bit....
3. do you have to use nutes on the plant?
No nutes for a few days..let baby recover
4. whatever help or suggestions you have feel free to say

thanks

If they're IN ground..make sure you dig about 12-18" away from stem, the roots can 2X the height of plant....the rest is just common sense..don't expose the root to sun. do it when cool and later in the day....etc
