Is it possible to transplant from Coco Coir into Soil?

I kind of went the other way from soil to coco . Depending how big the plant is I just washed all the soil of the roots and planted it right in coco. Only problem they went hermi on me later. But all grows are different and all strains do different things. So do what you have to and what will be will be. It's really hard to kill these plants but they sure can turn around and bite you in the ass. Peace

I like your last sentence lol.

I'm just having issues with mine man. This is my first indoor/coco/"hydro" (i hand water) grow and i'm not doing as well as i had hoped.

Having some major issues. She's lost her aroma, and i'm really concerned. Got dead spots/yellowing and yet appears to be growing alright on the top. i flushed her about 4 days ago, and she seemed to be doing fine. But over the past day and a half or so, the dead spots have enlarged, she's lost her smell, and the yellowing has become more intense. ph has been 5.7-5.9. I was waiting for her to dry out, but i gave her some food today (1/3 strength).

please help:

I would bet it was from shocking the shit out of her, washing the roots clean.

Is that PH in, out, or soil?
Whichever, it's too low for soil.
You want 6.5 for soil, and that could be the root of all your problems.

Indeed. But she is still in Coco. I haven't moved any of them over yet.

Something I highly recommend. Use a compost tea! Its especially effective if you use added microbes. The microbial life in your soil will help manage your plants nutrient levels and help it absorb only what it needs how and when it needs it. It adds the natural feeding cycle back into your indoor. The other massive benefit is that you don't have to ph anymore even if your just using compost tea in straight coco! Its pretty amazing! The microbes will actually manage your soil acidity on their own.
My personal recipe is a bit expensive but extremely worth your money.
You'll need a 5 gallon bucket. A air stone and corresponding pump An old pair of white socks and the amendments.
Fill the bucket with 4 gal of water with no chlorine. (You'll need a filter or just let the water sit with the air stone in it for 24 hours while it degasses.)
Take first sock and pack with
3 cups earth worm castings and
1/2 cup organic brown cane sugar.
Pack the second sock with
2tbs kelp meal
2-4 tbs high phosphate bat guano(0-7-0)
2tbs rock phosphate(add 4 if in straight coco as it adds iron naturally and helps prevent deficiencies)
1tbs Epsom salts
1 tbs azomite

You don't need everything but this mix is designed for use through the entire life cycle. Its heavier in phosphate and potassium than your average veg nutes and from what I can tell my plants stock it up and as soon as they hit flower they freakin explode.

I forgot to say you then put the socks into the bucket of unchlorinated water with the air stone and let it sit for about 24 hours. You can then also split It into 2-4 buckets so it goes farther.
It also benefits greatly if you add these to the tea at the beginning while it brews
(Advanced nutrients)
40ml Voodoo Juice
40ml piranha
40ml tarantula
25ml B-52
15ml Nirvana
40ml Bud Candy

This is a a 11-12 week strain(at 4 weeks) grown using this compost tea recipe
