it can be done! ive done it a couple times but there is sooo much stunted growth. it comes to a hault for atleast 2 weeks maybe 3 or 4. it will likely grow an entire new root system since you will only get a few of the roots to come through the net pot. if its a smaller plant it will be a little easier... i did it with a plant about 6 weeks old, and it took a good 3 weeks before it took off.
It's only two weeks into veg and I'm done with soil I'm only doing hydro from now on. I washed out the soil from two plants and they didn't get stunted at all both have fresh white roots reaching down into the b1 water I've been top feeding til they did
im starting to like soil again i think ill grow most in dwc and a couple in organic soil for the taste. nothing compares to the growth rate of dwc
They made it btw both plants I washed soil off and put into dwc have lots of white healthy roots hanging Into the res
