Awesome garden man. You can move to hydro at any time, the key is making sure the roots are good and healthy and the water temp is 70 or below. Water temp is really the biggest problem you can having doing hydro.

just my plants in the hydro dont seem to be growing? ones in the soil are getting bigger than the ones i put in the hydro system. so yesterday i cleaned and re fert the water slowed the drip down i guess i will see how that works.

What PH are you running?PH is everything in hydro,for proper nute uptake.

I do the Lucas formula and highly reccomend,Simple and easy to modify when you learn your plants needs.

As far as PPM less is better till you start learning your plants as many strains like different PPM.
Also why are you using soil as a medium if your going Soiless?

sorry typo

wow thats a head full of wowness lucas formula is like wow is there a english version lol
so i should try differnt fert G-M-B (Grow-Micro-Bloom)
15 - 30 - 15 is what im useing now i should try differnt ferts like

him
0-5-10 - For Vegetative cycle (18/6)
0-8-16 - For Flowering cycle (12/12)

The ph will be very important in the hydro set up make sure to Keep it checked and the res clean. 5.0 is low try adjusting to 5.5 and see how they react.

Tht low of ph locks out most if not all Nitrogen.A major element in plants growth.
At your stage i dont use anything but a very little Micro 100-150ppm.And some use
none for 3 weeks.I have done 100ppm for a month of micro alongside one with 300ppm
with no deff,or slowed growth.

When you have roots and growth is veggin.Germination is when your getting seeds to sprout.

I suggest grodan cubes or as ocean said neoprene.You need to do some reading on mediums for
soiless.
