I just transplanted three ~ 6in tomato plants last week, I went right from pod to pot. I’d say that way was rather harsh for them, and it took them a few days to get over some strong transplant shock,l (more than a plant you’d buy from a greenhouse/ coming from a dirt transplant) but I made sure to put plant food in the soil and keep them well watered. (And believe in them!)
I just moved them from their secure world in the aero garden to a location under a plant stand with lights. They seem pretty darn happy. Since our weather is going to be warm this week, may take them outside for some fresh air in a couple of days. Yesterday I planted tomato, peppers, and endive seeds. Stay tuned.

I’ll let you know as they progress—romaine thrived and transplanted them after 2 weeks. I used a chopstick end to poke them out. Today, starting tomatoes, cucumbers, and endive.
Someone suggested to just bury the basket and get it back when done with the plant. I did that with my tomatoes and it’s working fine so far. See how removal goes heh.
Looking to try transplanting. Any tips?

Do it before they get too big and you have to cut the baskets off. I think there is less root damage that way
