Yes I grow 90% of the time in hydroponics. From time to time like at Christmas for example I gift plants to my friends. They are rooted in my Aero-Cloner and then moved into a soil mix. They grow just fine and have no problems in good dirt. The only problem they have ever experienced is from problems caused by the caretaker they were given to. I have never noticed shock of any type. What you are talking about (root ball) is still in tact it's just clean and pretty....lol

It's not really transplanting when you move from an Aero-Cloner to dirt.
Zandor Reviewed by Zandor on . Question about Zandor Cloning 101 Zandor, Do you grow hydro? Will aero cloning work for soil growers, or is transplant ing raw roots into soil to much of a shock, as suppose to transplanting a rootball engulfed by protective soil? Rating: 5
