I am a new grower. My first time growing started off in dirt, after about 2 weeks of growth I gave up and bought a hydro system. I did not get ALL the dirt off, but as much as I could. I put the sink running with luke warm water, and held the roots in the palm of one hand while I VERY CAREFULLY washed away what dirt I could. I never pulled on anything. I did rub very, very lightly in places. All four of my plants made it through it, with flying colors. One became a male, the other 3 Females, and OH Yah, they are so sweet. I just put my system on nothing but PH'd R/O water with a little Molasses today. They grew very nicely. Here is a Photo of one of the plants I moved from soil to Hydro.

Now maybe I got lucky. But I am glad I changed over to Hydro.

Good Luck.
