So I just completed a transplant, went from 3 gal pots to 10 gal; any suggestions on watering?
Should I feed until runoff like normal, or should I go slow at first and maybe double their usual intake?
They are scheduled for a feed tomorrow and want to make sure I’m going about this the right way. This is my first time with a grow that looks half decent and first time in pots this big.

I run coco. I just water with some mychorrhizae. I plan transplant on water only days and they never seem to stall out or slow down. I also transplant several days or a week before they start to get root bound

They look great, good job! Anyhow, if it was me, I would give them just a gallon of feed around the center of each plant, then I would wait (5) days before I would fully saturate them with (2 1/2 to 3) gallons of feed!

Ill water in transplants to get the soil to bond and get rid of air pockets/gaps but that's it. I dont water to run off in soil, if i do its only cuz theres still an air pocket and i have moosh the soil around to get rid of it. Run off in soil is removing nutrients that's hard to put back in...it's not like coco where you can just dose it, at least from my point of view that's how i approach soil grows. Preserve nutrients at all times.
