Is there a best practice (notice how I did not ask for the best way) for loading bags/pots? That is, should the medium be dumped in and left or dumped in and packed?

I don't pack. I fill my 5g gallon fabric pots all the way to the top and SLIGHTLY tamp down with pre-watered soil (using the squeeze test) , and when I say slightly, I mean slightly tamp down. Then about flip time or a couple weeks after the soil should be settled a bit. Maybe 2". Then I'll top with fresh soil to the very top and tamp that down a bit.That way when I water next couple times those extra fresh nutrients, minerals, and microbes will filter into the soil a bit making up for what was used during veg. Then proceed with Terp Tea Bloom as a supplement every other watering up till 3 weeks before finish.
That's how I do it. Everyone's different....

Reason I ask is because I tamped 2 of my pots and let sit 2. Don't remember which, probably because I do drugs.
Seedlings in 2 pots are halfish the size of the other 2. All coco from the same bags. All else is equal.
I even took 2 of the larger seedlings and put them in the 2 pots with the smallers. The largers have slowed way down. They all seem as compact to a finger poke.
No pictures. Y'all know what a seedling is.C'mon, mule!

I run a 50/50 coco/perlite mix. I wash the coco with a cal-mag solution after I put the medium in the pot. I use my hands to compact the medium (pressing firmly) and fill the pots to the top.Gorilla Grow tents, HLG Lamps, Coco/Perlite 50/50, All Autopot, CX Horticulture nutrients full line Growing photo's and autos

Well, I don't know what the deal is. Two pots are moving right along. Two pots are runts. Even the ones I transplanted from the good pots have stopped growing.
Maybe it is a packing thing? Maybe they could have used fertilizer a little earlier?
Still, no pictures. They are just not pertinent. Big seedlings. Little seedlings. Ohmmm...C'mon, mule!
