I had a plant in soil, it got nutrient burn and slowed down the swelling really bad, I transplanted it from soil to a hydro bucket... By doing this, did I ruin it?
Me and my dad have gotten in arguments about this, i personally think that taking a plant from soil and transplanting it into dwc would cause too much shock to the root system. I guess theoreticaly it could be done but id be too scared of hurting the root structure while trying to get rid of the soil around it.
In my opinion if you did this during flowering you def HURT it but if in veg it could come back for sure. Almost anything out of the ordinary can affect a flowering plant.
the key is to have things VERY similar. When you go from dry soil to soaking wet hydro, it can be a bit much. Soil to hydro is much easier on the plant than hydro to soil. The important thing is to fix what youve done. Why did you switch to a hydro bucket when you got nute burn anyway???
