No. If I dig up a pup and it's missing roots -- I discard it.

I meant: start your plant in one culture and keep it there.

DON'T foliar feed a hydroponics plant with anything containing urea nitrogen.

Indoor hydroponics for one or a few plants of a crop is mainly a fad -- esp. for people without a budget. It's basically a way to sell hardware, and publications that tout hydroponics are very pleased with the numerous paid advertisements.

In commercial agriculture we do it as a means of scaling costs for large production. The break even point is about 1000 linear feet.
