I've been thinking, okay you know how plants grow bigger roots in soil but the plant itself grows smaller, and with hydroponics it is the other way around.What-if-u-did-vegative-stage-in-soil-give-it-enough-time-to-grow-monster-roots-then-when-ready-for-flowering-flush-roots-and-transplant-to-an-hydroponics-system-where you could utilize those monster roots to grow a monster plant and get a monster harvest???-is-it-possible-any-drawbacks-to-that-idea???????????

heres a link on how to do it but it would be better to stick to the way you started it Cannabis Culture Forums: Transfering from Soil to Hydro

you would do extensive damage to the roots getting all the soil out. the risks would out weigh the benefits.

nothing wrong with looking outside the box though.

I don't know about anyone else but the roots my hydro plants grew during veg are enormous.

soil roots are almost always larger then hydroponic roots, transplanting a mature plant to hydroponics from soil is a very bad idea... if the plant is very young or a young clone then it would work

fairy muff, i apologise for head spinning. both hydro and soil can give equal yields, depends on conditions. hydro is less maintenance and faster growth, especially w/clones. never used any hydros myself but my friend gets great results with eb & flow...

gl!

Why do you think the size of the roots is so important? The only reason roots wouldn't get as big with Hydro systems is if your using small pots. Brcause you are giving your plants the nutrients they need you don't need a huge root system. This allows your plant to concentrate on growing buds not root systems. I have seen sources that recommend ebb and flow hydro for new growers. You may want to check that out. Welcome to the forum. VV
