Can I transplant from soil to coco?

[TreeFrog]

I am needing to transplant to larger pots, but am wanting to change from a soil mix to a coco coir and vermiculite mix. Will this work? Can I carefully wash off all the soil from the root ball and then move to coco or should I leave the soil and put the whole thing in coco? Or is this a bad idea to change mediums? Plants are about six weeks and are in smart pots. Any advice is appreciated.Thank you🙂

I have 3 GSC clones that were in soil and I transplanted directly into the coco, 2 were in solo cups and the 3rd was in a 1 gallon pot that I transplanted up to a 5 gallon. I chose to transplant the soil directly into the coco to minimize the stress to the root system. The leaves were droopy for about a week but then they perked back up and I haven't had any issues. I can't say it is absolutely the right way to do it but it worked for me.

I would't wash the soil off just put it in the coco and give her alot of water
