It basically boils down to not having a lot of space and I find this a good way of starting them off. Not had much luck doing normal transplants (I'm a clumsy bastard) with bits breaking off etc. Had great success using the instatransplant method on my last 2 grows. The older plant hasnt had a great start in general with me leaving it in the dark too long after sprouting and having to remove the shell as well. I agree I moved her into the bigger pot too late and caused root bounding so I just decided to put her in a slightly larger pot and see how she does.
Youngest one is looking nice and healthy and I'm happy with the way she's growing. Thanks for the advice, could you pop into my perpetual diary from time to time and let me know what you think?
Cheers
