I need to know if when i transplants the clones off the drip system can they be transplanted into a soil mixture in 5 gallon buckets or is it going to be to damaging to the roots?

just be careful when you do it. Its possible and people do do it, but as with any transplant/switching of medium theres gonna be stress on the plant involved, itll get stressed from 3 things in this case.

Medium transfer
Indoors to outdoors
and hydro to soil

So that's 3 stress factors you giving it there, and the plant will react differently depending on the strain and certain environmental conditions. Don't be surprised when the plant stunts and/or looks bad for a few days/weeks.

the best thing u can do is make sure to put it in shade when moving from indoors to outdoors rather than direct sunlight.

^^what he said but basically
your good. i recently transplanted from hydro to soil a rockwool 6x6x4inch cube into 5gal homedepot buckets of fox farm.

The first picture is when i got it at about 4wks veg preflowers female to about 4 or 5 wks flower.

Just make sure that if it is in rockwool to not let the rockwool get exposed to direct light. That will kill everything.

Peace@!

would it be a better idea to try to spread out the 3 stress factors insted of all at once or would that be even worse. for instance, if i were to move from hydro to soil but keep them inside till they stop stressing?

thank you both btw

That would work that is how i do mine and they are fine. I move from hyrdro inside for a month then harden to outside permanently. Will put some pics up in my Cali Feb to May grow thread today.
