aero to soil

i have been growing one of my ladies in aero for all her life. and i was wondering if it wouldnt hurt her to move to a soil set up. shes a lot smaller than her sisters and i dont really want to flower her like the rest, lack of yeild. i want her to be a mother and so could i move her into soil easily or not?

Aero roots dont take well to soil. It may make it but your chances are slim.

what if i just used like all vermicule and that other stuff, sorry i dont know much about soil. all of those things you add into soil to make it airy?

Vande. You can do that, but you might not want that plant. Since clones are exact duplicates of the mother, those clones won't be yielding you much. Better to take you're best plant and make her the mother.

That's only based on the crap I read...I don't know nuffin'

Made sense to me though

well the only reason that it isnt that large, is because i broke its 2nd leaf off when it was very young, this prevented it from growing as fast as the others, and becasue of this it has not gotten as much light, but it will grow very will, and i think that i want it because i will be able to keep it for a few years, and it will not get very big, the children of it will be healthy and big because they will have the right environment, its the perfect mother, i just want to know if there is any way to safely transplant it.

From what I have gathered you really put the plant's life at risk when moving from soil to hydro or vice verse.

You can make the transition alright. Expect the plant to "stall" for a few weeks. After that, it should recover just fine. MJ plants are survivors above all else.

I have done this and it will be just fine. I was using an ultrasonic fogger and switched to soil without stalling.

so it wont hurt it that much?

Your plant will be fine. I kind of spread the roots into a y pattern when i put them into the soil, so there wasnt just one big blob of root mass in one spot. Water it once and let the soil almost completely dry out before watering again.

sweet i think im gonna do that on monday.

hey i dont know anything about soil so could someone tell me what the deal is with it? like how to do it. any help would be great, i really just want to know what soil to use. could i just use miricle grow for the time being...i have seen people on the forum that are using it. any help would be great

I think you would be better making her a clone in soil... might slow her down for a couple of weeks but whats the rush if she is going to be a mother plant..good luck

but you dont see, she is literally 2-3 inches tall, so takng clones wont work, i want her to stay small for the time being.

I would'nt do it EXPECIALY if it is to be a mother. While she will probably survive the stress it will preminatly damage her potency and growth. This damage will be passed to her clones.

P.S. Mothers should start from seed, and be replaced yearly by a new seed or clone of the mother. REMEMBER any stress to the mother will reduce potancy and weaken the mother AND clones!!!

O as for soil I recomend this. Available at most gardening shops and its 100% organic.
Black Gold Potting Soil

alright well then i guess i have two completely different opinions, i think im gonna go with the people that have a first hand account and go for it. thanks a lot guys.

Dude trust us U don't want to put a mum through the stress of a transplant, into a grow cycle to sex it, or anything else that will cause her stress PERIOD. She will never be the same.

alright...well i did it anyway...if it doesnt work i was gonna kill her anyway because shes not big enough for bud like the others.

If you have others that are healhty take a clone of one of them and start it in rockwool.

All Im tryin to say is dont half ass it when it comes to your Mum. Her clones can only be as strong as her
