    Don't even think about it.

    There is no way you are going to go from hydro to soil without doing major damage to your roots. At best, you would stress the hell out of the plant, set yourself back weeks, and if it survived, the plant would probably go hermi on you.

    Stick to what you are doing, it can take a while for the flowering to get started.

    This is part of your problem. A halogen light is no good for this.

    Your question/thread should be in the beginners section.
    By your second post and saying that you've grown once before in hydro, made me think this was a prank. It's something i'd do if i was bored and wanted to fuck about, but then, not everyone's mentally immature as i am.
