Reducing from Grow Containers to Pots

[leatherback]

So if A bonsai is taken directly from a nursery grow container to a finished size bonsai pot will it suffer any ill effects. I mean other than slower growth of the trunk?

Good chance on killing it if you do not know what you are doing.

As stated above, you could kill the tree easily. A drastic root reduction from a large nursery container to a finished size bonsai pot is not advisable.
Better to accomplish going from nursery container to finished pot in stages over a few years, or many depending on the tree.
Bonsai is not a fast hobby. Patience is the way
