Rinsing roots during a transplant(soil to soil). Good or bad?

Just performed a transplant on an old plant that was shocked early in its growth it's now about 1 month and a Half old.

Going to get one more plant in to a smart pot but just wondering if its bad to rinse the root in a bucket of water removing previous soil from root then transplanting?

I would say "bad" because the less stress you put on the plant the faster it will recover after transplant.
Why do you want to rinse the roots?

Changing soil

I understand. Still a bad idea.
Here's the thing about these plants: You can really mess with them and they'll recover but it delays them significantly.
Here's an example. I'm vegging my first regular beanz. I'm used to topping early and often (with feminized) so I did with these. They're taking forever to sex. Now I know.

Yeah that's fine as long as they recover; they've already been shocked once. 1 plant is staying in veg and the other 1 went into flower.

The veg 1 is a bit droopy, it also lost quite of bit of root; previous soil had clay. I think it will come back stronger in the new soil.

Topped 1 of my plants but I decided not to do that anymore. preference.

I wouldn't rinse the roots ....if your changing soil during transplant just put the rootball that's currently in the bad soil straight into a nice size container of the new soil and those roots will bust outta that old/bad soil into the new stuff and never look back with the least amount of stress caused ....GL

No need to rinse. Take the container the plant is in, put it in the new pot and put your soil in all the way around the pot. Your making a mold. Ease the plant out and pop it in the mold, set it and water well. Wait for it to dry out before u water again. Don't use nutrients until the leaves are reaching upward.
