a friend gave me a sourOG plant that turned hermie and is 3 weeks into flowering. he grows hydro and i grow with soil. i planted the rockwool and the container of hydroton that the plant is growing from in a nice 5 gallon pot. has anyone ever attempted this before? converting from hydro to soil? the plant is looking pretty good for being converted to soil. any tips, pointers and info on converting to soil?

Who's the breeder of the sour og?..Did you stress the plant? Do you grow outdoors? Does your buddy have a problem with plants going hermi? Personally i'd shit can it and grow with proven genetics from reputable breeders…usually plants hermi late in flower for a self preservation purposes…..3 weeks into flowering sounds like bad genetics

i'll have to check with him to find out who the breeder was but i didn't stress the plant by any means except that I had to plant it in dirt because i don't grow hydro. i grow outdoors. He had 2 other plants that turned hermie on him but pulled them before he could get it to me. he said there isn't a complete separation of light between his veg and flower room that may have stressed the plants in the flower room...whats some of your favorite reputable breeders?! The BlueHash and CataractKush I am growing is very stunted and hasn't grown much vertically. There only on the third or fourth set of leaves and its been about 4-5 weeks already since germ. CataractKush is from DNA and the BlueHash was from Dinafem.

A few pages back Tardis,Puna and Surf'd have pointed out some good breeders. Surf'd turned me on to sannies seeds....and i'm currently waiting for my seeds to arrive....I've bought from Nirvana and the service is good....some the strains have many differnt phenos so you might have to grow out a few to find a keeper....none have hermied on me so far (keeping fingers crossed)

Ho Brah, you got that soil dialed in! Those plants look so healthy....are you watering those buggahs with ph'd water and molasses?...or just straight water?....have you ever used this product EM-1 Microbial Inoculant http://www.teraganix.com/EM-1-Microbial-Inoculant-p/1000.htm ..My super soil is ready so all my plants moving forward will be fairly organic for the most part. Im going to germ a few of those afghani landrace seeds and finally see what I really have (keeping my fingers crossed that they turn to be 100% Indica)

You should talk to Aron and Carlos at Green Hands of Aloha. Those dudes are super cool and they'll give you solid advice on how to do DWC correctly here in the islands....most of us in this thread are dirt farmers.http://greenhandsofaloha.com/

Hey Coot-
Love Em, use that shit for everything, put it in my drinking water, foilar spray, teas....
These particular plants are just in good soil and I've been feeding them a kick ass tea once a week and ph'd water in between...
Whats stopping you from being 100% organic? Good luck poppen dem seeds...

I'm pretty sure my new set up is 100% organic but, I just can’t say for sure since I don’t know the sources of all the amendments that I put in the super soil.
I germed afgahni seeds last night....this moring one seed has a tap roots showing....chaaahooo!

Nice size flowers for week 5....but they look hungry for a little "N". I start to look for the "fade" around week 7....what are you feeding the plant?

Awesome!....Keep and eye on it over the next 3-4 days....and if you don't notice those fan leaves getting greener....water the plant and check the run off to ensure your Ph is okay....if the ph is in the "range" give it a little more of the pro veg.
What did you use for soil?
