real noob transplant question

can I transplant from a shitty potting mix I have them in to a larger container with coco coir? The reason I ask is because they are obviously used to the environment that they have developed in, and the root ball will obviously be compacted with the potting mix, so the final product would end up being a potting mix/coco mixture more or less. Is this okay to do?

it has been done but ull run into some dramas just transplant into some more good soil

for best results with coco u wanna run it like hydro anyways with full auto feed system we run our coco setups with a timed feed at 3 times a day run to wast

yeah I suppose ill just go full on coco if these plants survive. they're giving me headache after headache. The soil I have is pretty bad, premixed nutes that when I try to flush they burn and freaking bugs and waterlogging issues even with perlite.. Even the freaking perlite I have has premixed nutes in it. Ugh.

Ya know you can always just use a different soil. Roots organic is very nice full of peri

how big are the pots they are in now?

this one I've already transplanted, but I have three others that are still in those small pots. Maybe like a quart, 6" pots.

with clean hands, remove 3 remaining plants from pots, and wash off root-ball in a clean bucket of clean water, being gentle. plant in good mix; not coco.

i believe that's what I will do, but (and im just curious here) why not coco? Is it because you just don't want to mix up two completely different types of media?

Id switch to coco man dont see a big issue with its never gave me any problems.

well the dirt sitting in ur root ball u dont get ride of all of it u go hitting it 3 times a day with water or even once a day = root rot which = dead plants

not saying it cant be done just seen a few die like that in my time

I'm just trying not to give up on them. To make a long story short: its been a real learning experience dealing with pre-nuted soil and I wish I would have educated myself further, but I suppose the reason I educated myself in the first place is because of these seeds so no matter what I can chalk this up to a learning experience anyway you slice it. Is that the write spelling for chalk in that context? IDK but its all good, prob won't transplant into a different media but was just curious as to whether or not it could be done.
