any problems with transplanting from hydro to soil?

i tried to use the search engine provided in the space on the forum and it isnt working or isnt finding what im talking about. anyways, i am going form an areojet system, 12 site system to amended soil in 5 gallon containers.

i vegged 6 big bang indicas from greenhouse, and 4 blueberry/ hashplants via the " tude." the hydro sytem had made these girls explode growth wise. all are at least 2 feet in their respective pots, talk about serious roots! holy shit. they've all grown together and took awhile to untangle them with clean sterile hands..

my issue was that my bloom area has no space for my hydro set up and i screwed myself royally. i pulled all plants out and transferred them some kick ass foxfarms soil, and some new 5 gallon buckets. i used 10 gallons of solution that rested in the resevoir and watered the hell out of the girls, and threw them back under the large MH.

i have yet to see and wilting of leaves, turning leaves, canoeing, or any signs of shock or stress. i'm holding my breath for sure. . i wanted to ask if you al have done this before or have known someone who attempted this with positive results. does shock start automaticaly or does it come a few days after?

definately not a newbie to hydro or even soil grows but it's new to me to try to transfer from hydro to soil... i've googled the issue with mixed reviews, some say it is ok, some say it will kill them..

everythings cool so far. any input would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!!

You should have no problems man. I have done it both ways and with much smaller plants. If they are ok in 24 hours then more then likely your cool. How they react to the stored nutrients in the FF is a different story. Be sure you PH your water to around 6.5 to give them the best shot.

Good luck.

cruzer thanks for some insight. my solution from the "old" resevoir was at 6.0 but if i remember correctly , i read somewhere that soil grows you'd want to have it up a lil bit higher (6.5) . a difference? i dont know surely.. they're looking good and i plan to see them stop growing for a few days but i think once them rots reach out, theyre gonna explode in some new growth again.
people are also suggesting "superthrive" . never used it before honestly, see it at the local hydro store...might not need it if they keep looking this pretty

I have. It does work well.
When I have a strain that has touble rooting I use superthrive in my clones water.
Its been around for years, cheap and lasts for years. (you use one drop per gallon)
