I am about to transplant from 1 gallon to 3 gallon - plants are 4 weeks old. When should I water the plants before trying to get the full root ball out in one peice? Should I water immediately before or should I water 4, 6 or 12 hours before removing root ball? Anything else would be appreciated.
Correct way to transplant into bigger planters

Just make sure the grow medium in the new pot is moist then give it a few days to go back on your regular feeding schedule. Try not to disturb the root ball.
Hey, i dont know the answer but Im about to transplant 6 week old plants. Im assuming that keeping the root ball and soil wet will help keep everything in tact when moving the plant. Im not 100% sure whats best as im inexperienced but I would like to see what the experienced say about this

keep both the rootball and the new container with soil "moist" not too wet...make a hole in the new soil to fit your rootball, and set it in there, cover around the stem with a little more soil and give the new pot a little jiggle and you got it!!!
