Hey, this could be a ridiculously dumb question but I have no idea and I'm here to learn.
I am currently growing for my first time and I have a small seedling that will soon be ready for transplant, but with the knowledge I now have, I would rather grow in a DWC setup than soil. I was wondering if it is possible to take a seedling grown in organic soil and transplant it into something like a bubble bucket. Would transplanting into an entirely new medium and growth method be a bad idea? My thinking is that it might shock the plant enough to stunt growth or worse. However, I am very unsure and that's why I'm coming to the experts: you guys. My whole reason for asking is because I saw a video in which a man took a plant out of his yard, rinsed away the dirt, and proceeded to grow the plant in his homemade DWC setup. There were no follow-up videos showing the plants growth or anything so I don't even know if it survived.
*To clarify, the plant the man used was not cannabis.
I realize that if I wanted to do a DWC grow I should probably have started there but a few weeks ago hydroponics was in the same boat of confusion with nuclear transmutation so soil seemed like the best (aka simplest) way to go. After a little more reading (a lot more reading) I now feel comfortable making, growing, and understanding a DWC setup.
