soil to hydro transplant

[loylty gets u nothing]

hello

i want to t/p a girl from soil to perlite

she hasnt grown into the pot she is in so t/p will be tricky

 

the best mehod i can come up with is

to remove from pot and remove clumps gently

then give a root soak in some b1 booster.

then put into perlite mix

 

the soil is so slow

i need to get back to me feeding and not the soil

 

so guys anyone got a good way out of this 1??

 

all tips appreciated

 

thanks

peace

hey bill i've transplanted from soil to dwc and aero and vice versa it aint hard if you take care and are prepared to allow for close to an extra week of veg.

 

prepare a fairly strong mix of h202 (or equivilant) and ph adjusted water in a spray bottle. gently remove the plant from the pot, you can either dunk the roots in a ph adjusted solution and spray off any excess dirt or if the roots aren;t that developed and the soil is loose you may be able to shake most of it free. give em a spray with your mix and transplant to there new home. best to run on plain water with maybe a little superthrive etc for a day or 2 and flushing as often as possible to get rid of the last remants of dirt.

hey Bob ,

 

I'd be doing prety much what chato said.

I'd be using 50% perlite / 50% vermiculite though , I've found perlite doesn't hold enough moisture by itself.

 

The only real prob I've noticed is a bit of tp shock but once they get over that they should boom.

 

 

good luck with it

yeah as chato said expect an extra week in veg as this will put ya plants into abit of shock and also if you using a pump in ya system make sure that all or most of ya soil is removed befor ya tp as this can be bad for ya pump and can make it seize

well i did it

i reduced the 15 ltr soil mass down to bugger all

soaked her in supathrive then put her into some perlite

with a fair chunk of coco on top to water through

i give her a very light feed of adv nutes 2 part silica majic and some supathrive shes in a recycling dwc so she will come good in a while
