You should contact a retail nursery that sells seeds and plants. Quite a few nurseries guaranty there plants also, so it may be worth your while to buy from someone like that. Some plants can be started far earlier than others. Get the advice from a nursery rather than a home depot or a grocery market.

Roots of plants grown hydroponically are often swelled with water because they have constant access to moisture. They're also very tender and prone to breakage. When transplanted to garden soil or potting soil, they often wilt immediately and go into shock. The solution is to first transfer the plant to a shallow pot with potting soil, flood the medium with water, preferably the same water used in the hydroponic setup with water-soluble fertilizer added. Put in a place with indirect light and keep the soil moist for a week watering twice a day. Slowly reduce the watering schedule over the course of the next week or two to the point where you can water every other day without wilting. Inspect the root system. Hopefully by now the roots have become fibrous and brown rather than white. Transfer to a regular pot, slowly increase the light levels and eventually it will behave like a normal plant. Some leaf and flower loss is normal.
