I love the term starved transplant!Small grows and big grows can be compared to each other during transplanting
I would suggest imho what I do
My garden is small I only grow for a few, But I use CoCo, 70/30 split coco hydroton or 50/50
Getting to the point, I noticed a few days after going to the larger grow Bag from the smaller was a stalling my plants Baddly and I to do DTW with Jacks Pro and OG Bio-War when I use the cloth bags
I started to do a Starved transplanting
I would remove the Plant from the smaller pot
dip the plant roots in a 5.6/ 5.8 ph mixed with Azos
and mycos sprinkled in the new BAG then set the plant in the larger coco bag
fill with my new Coco mix
and then use ONLY enough 1/2 strength nutes
to wet the outside edges of the NEW coco in the bag do not add so much as to get 0 run off
and do not water the center leave it DRY and MAKE UM hunt the wall of the bag and the little water there is.
Trust in this enough to type it on your thread to you .
I believe in this method for Me but is it the same in larger grows ?
all I can say is try it with one if you can afford to trust it will work
Once the roots explode then start the DTW after you start seeing your roots sticking out of the top of the coco.
View attachment 486503They may only be 3 gal but I go from 1 gal to this size in hempy coco or smart pots, but if you look closely to the edges of the pot you will see My roots all the way out and even sticking up out of the Pot.
I wish you Great success @gettogro
watching your Super trees is always a pleasure.

Well said.. My skill set would be much better served on monster garage or tree house masters, rather than growing trees...My only advice is to stop giving up all the gosh darn time. When you threw that uc pro into the dumpster I pictured an 8 year old throwing a temper tantrum from not being able to do his math homework correctly.
Stick with it man. You got what it takes.
The fact you have the same issues no matter what medium your in, means whichever is the constant in your equation is causing the failure. Doesn't matter if you're in soil, hydro, coco, hydroton. You can change media like you change underwear, its not what's killing your plants
Gg your last grow was seriously one of the best I've ever seen in terms of everything plants and hardware. I'm sure you can get this one perfected.
@FooDoo Thanks for reminding me about vpd...
So when I transplant into bigger pots, leaving the medium on the dryer side will help the roots grow in search of water. I should raise the humidity to keep the plants from drooping. Makes sense just like cloning in medium requires a Humidity dome. Ez cloners not so much.. Maybe like the difference in transplanting in rdwc than in coco.
Of course I did the opposite today. I shut the humidifiers off thinking that would help dry out the pots.. Ill get the temps and humidity up tomorrow. 80 F and 80 RH ?????
You have a lot of fokes on your side G-Man and you have One hella Grow room Stay the Course and get-er-doneMy medium is wet when I repot so I let them go 2-3 days before the first watering.
