From Hydro to Soil- Rep offered

So I've been using hydro to grow my plants for about 5-6 weeks. There's been a lot of stunting, nutrient burn, and that sort've thing - and I quickly learned that hydro isn't something I'm good with.

So, I want to go from a hydroponic setup (DWC) to a soil setup.
Will my plants survive? or will they not be able to adjust and I should stick with hydro from start to finish?

What is the top of the line products I will need? (I'd like you to be specific, include brand names, and all supplements.)

I've tried browsing around on grow journals, but they don't seem to have the information I want.

Thanks for the great info guys, but, I'm a bit confused on exactly how soil setups work.

I'd really enjoy a nice post on soil setups. Maybe a link to a previous topic? I can't seem to find an in depth how-to on the subject.

I transplanted the few I was trying in DWC as I am not ready for that yet. I am using Premier Pro Mix soil as it has no nutrients at all allowing me to add my own. I am using a simple mix of General Hydroponics Maxi grow for Veg and Maxi Bloom for flower. Biggest thing to know is just wait until the soil is nice and dried out before watering, then when you do water make sure you give them a good watering which causes about 10% run off through the bottom so no salt builds up. As for the transplanting part they will do fine and probably take off, good luck man

its pretty simple buy fox farm soil and mix with a little perlite and worm castings.Then you fertilize about once a week and water once or twice in between feedings
