Have to go home..but I have a plant in hydro

So I have a plant in hydro and have had major ph issues lately but I have to go home for family stuff not sure if it will survive the week and I have no one to watch my plant should I just transplant to soil and hope for the best? I figure soil will dry out slower plus transplant shock will just kinda put it in stasis rather than its ph creeping suggestions?

put the light up high, put the pot with soil in it,, and then set the container into a tray, and put some water in the tray, so the pot can wick it up,, its not perfect, but it may get you thru ,,, alive,,
 
I ended up getting fox farms ocean Forrest and some perlite what would be the best way to transplant I was reading to try and get as much soil dust inside the rootball to keep the roots from rotting on the interior I really hope she doesn't herm she's in flower I'm gonna do soil put the rootball down and burry up to the netpot

I would vote no. FF is organic and you should be fine for several weeks. How long are you going to be gone?
 
5 days but with my ph jumping from 5.5 to 6.5 everyday it would be long enough to kill the plants if ph rose 1 point everyday in hydro plus I'm at the point where I've been getting nothing but trouble out of this hydro system

Water good, Mulch top with something (Perlite will work). You should be okay.
I use blumats now but in the past I used a timer with a cheap pump when I would go away. You can pick both up for under 25 bucks.
I could never do anything but organic now. All I have to do it water. No nutes, no ph. Plants are happy, I'm happy. Now I spend that time working on other things (worms, etc).
