Moving from soil to hydroponics

[Formernuke]

I have a bubbletronics hydro system set up right now. I have a opportunity to get a established in veg plant that is in soil.

Can I move a soil plant about 1 foot tall currently in a dixie cup to my hydro system? If so how?

just submerge in a container with water and very gently dissolve as much soil as you can into the water, not complicated just a delicate thing, take your time

I've gone the opposite direction, from hydro to soil pretty easily. Like 9fingerleafs said, submerge in water carefully and get as much of the soil off as you can.

Hi dphipps,

I want to transfer clones from hydro clone bucket into soil. They are still young though some are about a month into rooting that are over a foot long others are just an inch or so. And they've been fed and growing. Before I cause damage I'd love to hear your experiences.

That's an easier transfer than the other way around. Just take them out of the net pots and put them in a pot filled about halfway with soil, fill up the pot while holding the plant up, tap it down a little and water right away. Within a few days she should be over the shock, if there is any.
