Whats the difference? Like i kno the way ok ones soil ones water but what one grows faster has better yeild and is easyer to maintain?
sweet cuz after this grow ima try my luck in hydroSoil easier for beginners and more forgiving.
Hydro will grow faster and yield more but less forgiving with mistakes.
I never get it when ppl say hydro is expensive, look into making yourself a rdwc system, very easy. Also it is not complicated, just water temps and pH easy. I find hydro very easy and idoit proof but............. I do have friends who mess it up constantly and blame hydro for there downfall when in reality it is them who are Ill prepared, did zero reaserch and could never be bother to keep on top of simple things like water temps.Soil is much easier and forgiving as wyteberrywidow said. Hydro is very complex and a lot of work but will result in possibly larger yields and faster growth. Not always the case though, and in my eyes not worth the stress and complexity of it. If you have a good soil that is properly amended and your growing conditions are optimal you can get similar yields to that of hydro with much less work and money spent.
I may try it my friend. Time is something I don't have a lot of so building and micromanaging is not something I can fit into my schedule. I guess complicated is the wrong word. Intricate, more involvement, and more time consuming are how I see it. Also I grow for my mothers meds so I don't have room for testing and possibly failure. Soil has done me well and that's where the Lord intended them to grow so I go with soil.I never get it when ppl say hydro is expensive, look into making yourself a rdwc system, very easy.

I guess the only way you will know is if you give it a try pal good luck

Check out "hempy" style. It's easy, use way less nutes than hydro so cheaper. Can use the same perlite over and over. Uses no power to run air pump. It's technically not hydro, more like a soil less medium, but easier than soil and hydro and very effective. Very cheap to set up too. Need a bucket. Perlite to fill the bucket. Borrow a drill to make a hole 2" from the bottom. Will need to ph correctly so PH meter $12 on eBay. Nutes, 3 part gh flora works fine. BOOM! Look it up.Whats the difference?

You know, I have to agree with you about dirt, before I got seriously involved with a Waterfarm drip system. Soil is a pain in the ass too. You will get a way bigger plant in hydro, with only topping off the water level with PH'd nutes. Soil, unless cared for religiously will fuck with the PH and create a nute/salt build up at around 2 months. Always I have found that to be true unless you go organic(small plants/pain in the ass also). So, for a rookie that want's as big plant in as little space as possible (don't forget the lights), do your water changes every 2 weeks, and get a Waterfarm to get you into hydro. For a small grow, with due diligence, it will do you right.Soil easier for beginners and more forgiving.

Not good. Get off papers first you are only asking for more trouble.im on parole but i love to grow so thanks
I did soil a couple of times and got a power grow. Basically same thing as a water farm maybe a bit larger. I ran it one time. I changed nutes every Sunday. I wouldn't call it a pain in the ass at all, but I went back to hempy because it's so stupid easy. I don't know if it yields the same as dro, but does darned good. Check it out sometime. Would also like to see a side by side with hydro all other factors being the same.

Naw its legal here and my girl has her med card and my po never comes over a made a false wall so its very hiddenNot good. Get off papers first you are only asking for more trouble.
I have to say it was opposite here. I jumped into a ebb and flow system and using just one part food veg n bloom was the most simple thing ever.. Hell we left for 19 days and came back to lush green healthy plants with exception of the 2 power outages we had.. Soil is easy too but seems I've had more issues with critters than the hydro but again one persons opinion These grew alongside our diesel plants same nutes same everything.Soil easier for beginners and more forgiving.

I keep it 100% lol fuck the pigs i can have or at least my girl can have 12 plants six on six off the false wall is just to make sure no one gets a peak at my shitNaw its legal here and my girl has her med card and my po never comes over a made a false wall so its very hidden
I think I can say that I disagree with all of thisSoil is a pain in the ass too. You will get a way bigger plant in hydro... Soil, unless cared for religiously will fuck with the PH and create a nute/salt build up at around 2 months.
