Question is while seed is in germination and stem comes out, everyone transplants to a small container and then retransplant again,2 to 3 times. Why not just place the seedling after germination, in a 5 gallon or whatever large container they're going to use? What I've been reading is everyone retransplants and retransplant after so many weeks. Why not just place in a large container after germination and be done? Wouldn't it be easier on the plant. I've just placed a few seeds in germination and hope they sprout in a few days. Sorry if question sounds goofy but its been in my mind. Thanks for any answers.
Why? Just transplant once and be done with it.

Go for it, I have great luck with all plants going:
plug to 4" to 1G to 5G etc.
I also like to let my pots completely dry, why water a full 5G for a plant that needs 1/5th amount of water. Same goes for nutrients.

I agree with ogilthorpe! Also it more soil and takes up more space in the veg room. Not to mentions the root seem to just grow better when transplanting a few times

you dont have to do it that way but plants grow better when they are transplanted into increasingly larger pots rather then just a big one from the go. the reason behind it is to let the roots use the pot space more efficiently. generally you will have more roots and more roots means a larger and healthier plant.
