So as most of you know I like to experiment during my green house season of tomatoes. I've been really focusing on root growth the last few years. So I've been trying to find a way to get my plants to have little to no transplant halt. The ones I'm playing around with are probably a month ahead of my normal tomatoes. I end up in large smart pots by the end and didn't like the way things would slow down above ground while the roots filled the new space. So through much trial and error I think I came up with a way to keep the girls nice and steady both above and below ground. It's a bit of extra work but so far it appears to be well worth the effort. If the continue to do like this the next few grows. I'm actually guna skip supplemental lighting for the first few weeks next year. Just thought I'd share that since I'm pretty happy with my results.

I'm never really sure what to do when transplanting.
Some people say be careful and disturb the roots as little as possible.
Other people say rough em up -- especially if they're getting root bound.
Does vitamin B1 help? If so, do you give it to them before or after transplant?

I've found that roots grow differently depending on the pot and watering routine, so one approach does not fit all...

depends on what they look like, if they have a nice clean swirl to them, i just leave them alone. if them seem like a mass of knots, i might shake them loose a little. the only time i would actually cut into a root mass was if they seemed like they were seriously choking each other out, and i always transplant way before that becomes an issue.

It's actually kinda hard to explain. The simplest answer I could give, is not kicking small plants into big pots. Also the way I'm transplanting is kinda unique and I personally think it's keeping everything equal above and below the soil growth wise. I'm not experiencing the ((transplant shock)) as some like to call it. Keep in mind I'm only doing this to get the biggest girls I can during the season before flower. If I can save a couple days of slow to no growth because of transplant. Then factor in 3 to 4 transplants. In the end that equals around a month. We all know how much these plants can grow in a month.

I actually figured all this out by mistake and the last few years decided to play around with different ideas. Last year I had super good results doing it to one plant. I thought maybe it was a fluke. This year I have a bunch I did this way and they're catching the others started early with sup lighting like nothing.

Like I said it's a few extra steps, but looks to be well worth the effort to get some real monsters by flowering time. Not only nice big plants.....but consistent steady growth with all the plants regardless of strain.
