Transplant: Transplant early morning or late afternoon to avoid sun stress. Water the seedling a few hours before transplanting. This reduces shock and makes it easier to move. Dig a small hole in the soil in your grow bag place the seedling in and gently firm the soil around the base. Give it a good soak right after transplanting for at least 2 days placed in filtered light to reduce transplant shock.
