After starting up a couple DWC buckets I am returning to the world of dirt. I know this is a question people ask themselves before diving into the bucket so to speak but I personally am going to stick with dirt. I am not knocking the bubble bucket guys at all but for my opperation im finding that DWC is alot more work. I can say that the growth in DWC is WAYYYYYYYY more vigorous and I am serious when I say that this method of growing WILL BLOW YOUR FUCKING MIND when it comes to the guy who looks at their plants at least 127 times a day..... you can actually see these girls grow each day lol I would say my two plants in the Bubble buckets grew and inch per day but I found myself battling res temps everyday. I was putting frozen bottles in the res everyday and still could not quite get this method of growing down. I will post pics of my grow. I have 2 Northern lights in DWC and 2 in dirt, all germd the same time and transplanted at the same time and you will shit bricks when you see the side by side comparison.
I can see why people would grow in these buckets but for my style it is just to much work. I find myself checking the PH at least twice a day and adjusting it. I know if I had a larger res this would probably eliminate the need to constantly adjust the PH. I am impressed with the growth though and I mean seriously impressed but the ammount of work just to speed up the Veg time is just not my cup of tea. Dirt imo is way more forgiving and not nearly as "fussy" as hydro. Im just the style of grower that finds that dirt is just easier to grow in.... simply put. Im just rambling on at this point but in my opinion dirt wins this battle..... its just easier and cheaper too. As long as you dont over nute the damn things youre fine. We will see the outcome of this side by side grow and I can say that the hydro will probably yield more and produce a bigger plant but at a cost...... tons of work lol. I know the hydro guys are gonna get pissed but Im not trying to change any ones mind about making the switch to hydro im just sharing my personal experience. I need to learn to write without going all oer the place... lol I apologize for my composition faults lol.
Feel free to put in your two cents..... thats what this place is for.....To share our growing experiences and learn from each other
