I'm not too sure if anybody has done this or not but I was given some plants to me that were fed with 3 part general hydroponics, and I want to transplant them into my super soil. They are in the first week of flower already, and I know chemical fertilizers like the 3 part gh, ruin organic soil, so would I just flush the plants and then transplant? Thoughts please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

If you are totally worried about it then yes flush then transplant. Either way is fine though, flushin is not necessary though in my opinion.

Thanks! Should I bother using organic potting soil as a buffer in between the supersoil?

Just a thought, but most of the root growth on that plant has already happened... Shot in the dark, here, but you might be better off leaving them in their current pots (unless they're root bound), flushing, and topdressing with some supersoil or guano, or..... I'm sure a compost tea would do wonders to liven up that dead soil, too.

If they DID grow enough root into the super soil, they would probably get a BIG surprise by it's hotness (and nitrogen content). Surprises in flowering don't seem to end well.

Good Luck!

I might even just wait it out, don't have enough room to change to bigger pots. I guess the super soil will have to wait!!! Thanks for your help!
