Another fantastic video Khang, you explain what you have done very clearly and give useful tips to help everyone use the information given to recreate the process, seeing gradual updates about the progress of the plant all in one video is a great idea and just shows what great lengths you go to, to help others grow. 10/10 ππ»
I just did the same thing with Chiltipin pepper plants but I did it before they got so big. So far they seem to be doing great. The AeroGarden was awesome for starting these seeds.
what are your favourite chillies to grow? maybe an idea for a video ? this is my first year growing anything, you are great π
congrats on growing another 5k subscribers since your seed give away. we need more people appreciating peppers.
Nice tip about reducing the water in the aerogarden, I’m going to have to try that. I haven’t had a successful hydro-to-soil transition yet.
I have and I didn’t do what he said at all. No shock just take out of normal hydro and put in soil/compost mix. That has been my experience with certain plants. I’m not saying it will work like that for all
Thanks Khang, got some tops I’ve been rooting in water looking to transfer to soil and this video gave me alot of helpful info.
+Khang Starr you are my hero. I was wondering about this. I have about 8 peppers in my aero… thinking I’m going to move out 6 of them while they are young and let 2 stay and get big. Thanks a bunch.
Just a question when transplanting from hydroponics to soil. Is it any advantage to the plant before you transplant it, to prune it a bit before you put it into the soil, or would it be a very traumatic to the plant?
Hello Khang, have learned a lot from watching your videos, always lots of great information. I’m growing 8 different varieties of sweet peppers in kratky containers with masterblend, and been doing good for the most part. Im starting to get some edema on some of the leaves, some varieties are effected more than others, thinking about pulling the sweet Hungarian due to it is the worst, have one in a peat mix that is doing the same thing. Have a fan on them and the humidity has been below 50%. Not a lot I can do as to dry them out or anything due to them being kratky, any tips you could offer would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Khang, since your hydro plant had loads of leaves and was in a moisture rich environment, I reckon you may have had better results if you treat the hydro plant like you treat cuttings e.g. Keep cuttings in a moist environment and remove some leaves to reduce loss of water through leaf perspiration and reduce the work the stem needs to so it doesn’t have to suck up so much water.
If you think about it you did as much as you could to increase loss of water via perspiration by putting the plant outside which increases the rate of perspiration. The plant shred leaves because it can’t suck up water faster than it’s losing water via leaf perspiration during the transplant adaptation stage.
Next time you try this, put a poly bag around the plant to maintain a moist environment to keep the leaves happy and perhaps trim the plant so the plant can put more energy into developing a root structure for it’s new soil medium rather than working overtime trying to pump water to the leaves.
As far as the flower is concerned, I’m second guessing the plant has produced a flower because it’s stressed and is going to seed.

Thanks im trying it in these days
Thanks Khang, I found that video obviously lol. I like the tip about letting it go dry. I took out some herbs and I had a heck of a root balls from 3 months of growth. Had to make room for some peppers. I want to transfer before they get big.
I had no idea there were different kinds of roots on a plant. Thanks!
I’m not sure he is correct about that. I have never heard air roots or water roots. I don’t think he knows what he is talking about
Could u send the plant back into veg with indoor lighting and get it to grow twice the size ? Or is it going to go straight into flowering
I really appreciate your videos man. I’ve learned so much thanks to them
Does starting a plant in hydroponics increase the likelihood that it will be a healthy and strong plant?
5:05 – “It has been 2 weeks and the plant is looking TERRIBLE!” Hahaha. Appreciate the honesty! And thanks for the great video!
Thank you for this video. It gave me some ideas of how to get this to work without stressing out the plant. And, I just recently did this successfully with a hydro pepper plant. No shock. No lost leaves. Here’s how I did it:
I carefully removed the plant from the net pot and pulled the hydroponic roots through the holes in the bottom of the plant pot, backfilled with quality non-wood bark soil, raised the pot above the tray I planned to let it sit on (using flat rocks about a couple of inches thick) so that the hydro roots had about an inch of space to sit in the water and still have airspace. I then added water to the tray (not enough to touch the bottom of the pot, though, and leaving an air gap). This allowed the plant to establish roots in the soil while still receiving the hydro nutrients from the water in the tray. Then I slowly started watering at the top of the pot, into the soil, and reduced the water to the tray until the hydroponic roots air-pruned themselves. It’s doing so well, today I transplanted another pepper plant using the same method.
I lost beautiful tomato plants and everything except a parsley from transporting the first time. βΉοΈ My sister let them get way too big and didnβt prune this time but I started a new one. Thanks for the tip!
For few pepper plants itβs to costly, but looks beautiful
I know this is an old video, but if you ever have to get roots through a hole like that: cut a trashbag or old plastic bag into 3″ ribbons, wrap the roots to make a cable of sorts, just tight enough to fit through the hole. It helps to protect them from scraping the sides.
Thanks for the tip!
How often do you water during the period you transplant and keep out of the sun?
