1st. In order to move a plant from soil to hydro you have to be diligent in not damaging the roots. IN order to clean the roots from seedlings started in soil; One must fill up a bucket of water between 65-75 f; PH 6.0-7.0

Gently immerse plant in the water. This will allow the soil in the root aone to crumble, and by gently swishing the plant around you will eventually wash all the soil out of the roots and then be able to transplant to a hydro system.

If you want to grow hydro; Buy 1.5" Rockwool cubes. I have over a 90% germination rate with Rockwool and swear by it for propagation of seeds or clones. When I have a failure; I attribute the failure to a bad seed or my carelessness somewhere along the line. :slight_smile:
