Transplanting from living soil to coco

gr865 · 2025-04-28T12:31:25-0600

So I purchased a clone in a 5 inch pot of living soil. I grow in coco and wondering if I can wash the roots of the soil and transplant into coco. Don't want to lose the plant it was costly.

I wouldn't do that much. Just transplant and start your feed program.

So there should'nt be a problem with a 5 inch pot of soil planted into coco, will it cause root problem with the wet and dry cycles. Soil holding water much better than coco.

No way. Your talking about a solo cup sized pot that its currently in? Right? Nope! What size pot are you going to finish in?

It is in a 5 inch square pot.

Am thinking if I cannot wash, then go ahead and grow in this pot and take clones from the mother and put in coco.

The clone is in a 5 inch square pot. Will the difference between that coco and soil interface cause issues.

You are good buddy. Take your clones like you said, but up this to your final pot and roll with it. Also you can see the perlite, so you should have good drainage.

What size is your final pot going to be?

I would caution you on this in pure* coco. Some dryback during lights off, ok. But you should do your best to keep your coco hydrated. Be sure to water to runoff, so you don't get any EC/PH issues.
