I have not been oleased with the dwc grow i have going on. Slow plant growth and alot of diluting this adding that mixing this to make that. Its just becoming a hassle. If i had the time to commit to ot fully i would understand but rn i am wondering if i can switch up from dwc bucket to ff ocean soil. The roots are not huge yet just barely peeking through the net pots. Would it be ok to transplant to soil? I prefer to use it actually.

I would think you could
they might go thru a slow transition while adjusting

post a picture of the plant and the base/root area if possible

whats in the net pots? rockwool?

what problems are you having in your DWC....root issues?

Will upload photos when i get the chance hopefully tonight. I dont think i had a grasp on what nutrients to fill the res with. I made the switch to soil. Yes they were in rw, roots barely descending from nets so not 2 much stress is 2 b expected from the trans. I just dont have time or the propper feel for hydro yet.

if you still have them in you dwc id be happy to help you sort out your nutes
as soon as you get the mix proper youll be fine
if your not having trouble with reservoir temps being high theres no reason you cant have success

if you want to switch to soil that's fine
but if your dosing it the wrong nutrient solution and at the wrong times your still going to have trouble even in soil

how big is the net pot and is it packed full of rockwool or is there a cube sitting In it loosely, if so how big is the cube

also
what nutes are you using?
I made the switch. I had no ph test or ph ip and down so waters acidity was never callibrated. Also i was using some stiff called rocket nutrients never heard of em usually use general organics biothrive grow bloom but this stuff came with a package purchased online. But the only thing i was giving my water was the rocket grow. 5-0-8 or something
