i have a 1000 watt HPS bulb im growing either white widow, snow white or white rhino and advice on that would be great to. but my main question is honestly can i get better yields with hydro or just overall better plants? i hear so many contradicting advice the hydro i would go with is 3.5 gallon dwc with general hydroponics nuts. And i know that this way they finish quicker how much quicker any advice would be great thanx guys

It'S quicker usually to get to your desired bloom height with hydro but the total blooming time shouldn't be that different with soil or hydro. Either one will work fine.

Hydro generally has higher startup costs and is often a more automated system than soil. It is very frequently more appealing to new growers due to the high-tech aspect of the process. Being more complex than soil, it technically isn't the best choice for novice growers but you should definately go with what you're interested in. Most hydro systems supply all the air the roots need by design. Soil is more forgiving than hydro since soil components often have trace amounts of nutrients and/or organic matter that decomposes into useable nutrients, while hydro only has what you put in it. These traces of nutrients decrease the chance of micronute deficiencies. Soil is more constricting for the roots and helping air get to them usually helps overall growth. More complex flavors than from hydro in the finished smoke are often reported from soil grows. With soil you have to provide and dispose of substrates, with hydro you have to clean the system regularly. Hydro can be done with less vertical space. It's easier to use most organics in soil as they can gunk-up hydro systems.

Yeah soil is more forgiving for the new grower hydro you will see alot of vigorous growth.But one mistake could cost your crop or yield..

I haven't seen any one mistake that could cost a hydro grower their plant......unless they forgot to water them, but that's a bit like walking outside without your shoes.

I don't have to read, I know. One mistake very rarely destroys a harvest or kills a plant. Usually it's a string of mistakes.

Guy is asking a question and you make it sound like hydro is handling nitroglycerin or something. That's the problem I have with your answer. I bet your shitty yield was a combination of mistakes but you only figure it was over feeding.

Omg kid omg.just shut the fuck up..What i said was soil is more forgiving for the beginner as in hydro 1 mistake could cost your crop or yield.Wtf are you talking about.Seems like you want to prove someone wrong but you cant prove me wrong anybody will tell you the same thing about hydro.Mistake made in a hydro system will be dramatic as to soil it is more forgiving.NOt saying you cant make mistakes in a hydro system but its better to start off in soil so you know how to grow and what to look for in problems if you have any.
I bet my shitty yeild would be better than yours.

Edit looking at your journal says enough...lmao

One mistake in soil can fuck you up pretty good and ruin your yield. Somehow in 9 years of growing in hydro I've never managed to kill a plant from a mistake, and as people like to point out I'm not that smart. He man if you want to run around telling people lies that you're choice, I might point them out though.

Anybody is free to look at my journal, I'm the laziest grower around, no co2, barely look in my garden, no bud booster shit, spent more time wanking, and I average a pretty good gpw on a short cycle.
