I love hydro for many reasons, one of them being it's soooo much easier to fix problems. Here's what I do when I have a problem in soil:

1) Figure out what the problem is using various problem charts.
2) Very carefully clip off any problem leaves that will not come back.
3) Gently remove the plant from the container, and put the container on the pile of containers.
4) Rough up the roots a little around the edge of the dirt ball.
5) Escort the plant to the nearest pile of brush and toss it in when it's looking the other way.
