transplanting from coco to soil

  1. I have some little plants vegging in coco, a holdover from my last hydro grow. They're in solo cups of pure coco and I've been feeding them my regular hydro nutes for veg. I want to put them into 2 gallon smart pots with soil, then up to 7 gallon for flower. The problem is that coco likes pH 5.8 and soil likes 6.5. So should I give them 5.8 pH waterings at first, then slowly up the pH as the roots grow into the soil? What about the nutes? My soil is 3 parts FFOF, 1 part organic compost, 1 part perlite and 1 part coco croutons, with a bunch of kelp, fish meal, a little guano and some other goodies like greensand, crab shell and humic acid. Should I switch to an organic liquid nute like fish emulsion after transplant?


     
  2. i would transplant and give it a good LITFA. let the plant take care of what ph it wants.

  4. LITFA is apparently the best thing there is for plants. :)

     
  5. I recently did this, from 1-2 gallons of coco to 7-10 gallons of soil. They maybe looked a little sad the first day but I hit them with a quick kelp tea and they perked right up and are nice and green . Didnt worry about Ph or anything straight tap water (pretty bad where im at too).
