I have always grown in soil how hard is it to grow hydroponic what are the cons and pros of growing hydro I guess is my question ?
I find hydroponics to be much easier, and the yield is 2 to 5 times more.I have always grown in soil how hard is it to grow hydroponic what are the cons and pros of growing hydro I guess is my question ?
I agree. I tried soil growing first, but now that I've seen the results, and experienced the ease of hydroponic growing I won't grow in soil again.I find hydroponics to be much easier, and the yield is 2 to 5 times more.
It does cost more to get started with hydroponics and you must monitor parts per million of fertilizer in your solution and PH carefully, but the rewards are awesome. It is also a lot more fun.
Hydroponics is like having a volume switch on your crop, you can turn the volume up or down depending how fast you want them to grow. It is also a lot less work. When you do anything to them, it affects all of them at once. You dont have to mess with them individually like in soil.
For a first timer something basic like ebb and flow is simple to learn. Your first crop would be a learning crop, learning the basics. Once you have the basics down, it is soooooo simple and fun.
As long as you use an air stone to keep the water aerated the roots will be fine submurged in nute solution.So I am going to want the water to cover the bottom of the pot it won't drown the plant
