converting plants from hydro to soil
Coco coir looks like a soil grow technique but the plants grow hydro-style (you use hydro nutes at hydro pH, etc.) Pretty sure you could transfer your DWC plants to coco without much problem, but what's "organic" got to do with it? Are you changing nutrients, too -- is that why you're making the switch?
You can do organic in DWC, lotsa choices for that. I switched from chemical (Dyna) to organic (Pure Blend Pro) mid-grow in DWC for an experiment. No problems, but I decided I liked the Dyna better (thanx, Weezard :thumbsup, and it's cheaper.
Not sure why you'd wanna switch at this point, but you could move a single test plant to coco and you'll know within 2-3 days if you've succeeded. I'd keep the nutes the same till you've got the plant stabilized in the new medium, though--even if you're planning to switch nutes later.
I'd expect significant stress to the plant if you switch from DWC to soil, though. Loss of yield and increased risk of hermies, at minimum. If you do try it, please do a log so we can see what happens. It's an interesting :weedpoke:DreadedHermie Reviewed by DreadedHermie on . converting plants from hydro to soil I am converting to organic. I've been doing RDWC. So, I have a few nice plants in 5 gallon buckets / netpots but I don't want to flower them and be stuck in hydro for another 75 days. Has anyone ever put a plant that vegged in hydro, into soil? (or sunshine #4) how did it go? Rating: 5Need advice wth plant problems?
