Transplant Help - Soil to Coco

[Spazmotic]

Hi everyone,


Just a quick question, started my babies in M.G. Soil and will be transplanting them over to CoCo for more control/less suck, and am unsure about how to go about it due to the huge differences between the two mediums.. more specifically if i need to clear as much MG off of the roots as possible, or can i just transplant the entire dirt ball into the coco and it'll fall apart on it's own after some waterings? If anyone has had some experience with this or any ideas, please feel free to let me know

Just transplant as you would normally without disturbing the root-ball. Some times you'll get a little shock going from one mix to another, but coco is supposed to be Ph neutral, so hopefully you won't have any drawback

i've gone from soil to coco. get you a bucket of properly ph'd water and after you've gently worked off as much soil as possible, dip the rootball into the water. this will get a great deal of the remaining soil off. x-plant to coco and ur done.... i'd pre-moisten/mix the coco too.
