    converting from dirt to hydro. good idea?

    for all of you who keep saying i should stick to soil, there are 2 good reasons why i decided to want a switch to hydroponics 1) space. i have none. all my plants take up all my space in their already small containers. 2) my friend grows hydro and tried to explain as much as possible to me...

    Disaster!!!!!

    this exact situation happened to me a few days ago. my plant was smaller than yours, but i did snapp a few roots and replanted the same "naked plant" fashion that you did, roots hanging down straight and all. and the answer is yes your plant WILL survive according to what happened to mine...

    converting from dirt to hydro. good idea?

    thanks man, by the roots not getting any light, do you mean what so ever? or direct light from my cfls? cause the plastic lid im using to bore holes into will be white. i am using a plastic container so light would be able to get into it, just not directly. what do you think?
