i have a 1 1/2 weeks old seedling and i just got my hydro system, would it be a problem if i transplanted from the bottom of a water bottle( meaning its in very little soil) and plant the glob of dirt and roots in the clay rocks? this is my first hydro grow so i just want to grow this plant for an experiment i already have my nice soil crop 2 weeks from harvest. thanx for your help guys!

You don't want to plant the dirt in your hydro system. You could gently submerge the root ball into some water so all the dirt comes off and plant that, though. Just be gentle. If some break it should be fine but just be careful. Plant the roots on one layer of clay rocks and then cover them up with however much more you use.

That sounds about right to me. You never use dirt in Hydro you can get slimy roots growing very fast if you do and that will kill your plant. Dirt bacteria does not like hydro and contaminate your water.
