So I have recently been gifted a rather large almost 3 month old mother plant from someone to bring home. However this lady (Lambo) has been kept on a hydroponic system which I do not run at home. I use Coco Loco. She is in Grodan rock wool blocks, both the square Hugo and a slab underneath. She has also been run with the synthetic cogos nutrient line and I would like to switch her to roots organic, which I am currently running at home.
So I have two questions:
1. Does anyone have advice and/or experience on transplanting large mature veg plants from rock wool into soil?
2. Any advice on switching a plant ran hydro from synthetic to organic nutes?
What my current plan to do is first, flush the plant of all its synthetic nutes (I have fair reason to believe it may have a lot of salt buildup). Starting last night I have been running straight RO water through the plant and will continue to do so for the next couple of days when I transplant or until I have a low-reading ppm runoff? After about three days I plan on taking off the plastic of grodan blocks, removing excess rock wool and just burying in soil with some mycho and other beneficials. Ill make Sure to keep the center of the pot moist until roots fill in since the rock wool will probably dry out faster. Once the plant is in soil I will begin using my organic nutes. Let me know what you guys think!
I’m gonna upload a pic of this lady, excuse her I took the pick right after moving her when she had a trash bag over her so looking a little freaked out.
ps. I’m new here too, this is my first post!
