Maybe cold water. What temp was the hydro water?

By the looks of my plants the hydro definitely has more N.

Within 4-5f,if anything the soil was warmer, as it sits in
my room.

Cold temps can increase the stretch. Has it been colder during the dark cycle than it was with hydro?

If they're from seed they could be different phenotypes.

Maybe just make an adjustment on your next grow? Or have an amendment ready (which defeats the purpose of super soil).

Do you have a pic of the plant?

The dirt one is pale coloured ,light green,I made the move last weekend and fed it hydro nutes,top dressing wasn't keeping up.
Yeah I cheated,shes a heavy feeder I guess.
But I also have some other soil plants that didnt stretch as much,their green and healthy.
I have an HPS in with my led so will have to wait till dark for a pic.

Yes not enough nutrition available if everything else was the same.

This is because when nature gets the wheel the plant genetic potential has a better chance at getting close to100%.
It’s. It not about more of this or that. Organic soil grown will grow faster and bigger and healthier. ( less chance of pathogen or pest) less “fluff”, more flavor, and potency. Well you can seee I’m biased lol. But the bigger stretch was something I specifically remember when flipping. Are you using alfalfa in your mix?

This is just my opinion:
I believe that hydro plants grow big root mass faster than soil plants. It may take 2-3 weeks for a soil plant to grow enough roots to fill a 1 gallon pot and hold all the dirt together. A plant in a dwc setup might grow that many roots in a few days.
I think that all these roots give hydro a head start in veg and allow for rapid growth or stretch in the transition.
I know you can get big plants, huge root mass and big stretch in soil, I just think it takes an extra week or two to develop the root mass to support the big growth.
