I use hydro nutes in a soil-less mix, but I do not have any pumps or reservoirs, just 5 gallon buckets with soil-less mix. Works great.

short answer in my opinion.........NO
soil has nutes and should have nutes
Hydro is supplying all the needs with liquid nutes
use the same methods on the wrong media and you either drown or fry your plant
it may be just semantics but I say no

I do the same. Doesn't matter the delivery system. It is more of the process of how you feed the plant.
not saying one is better or worse even though I obviously have an opinion and made my choice accordingly but by definition then no

Why are you all discouraging the man.. Dig a hole.
Honestly, I for one am not discouraging anyone. just defining the term imho.
In fact next year I have plans to do just that so as to grow one or twenty of those monsters that you cannot grow in a fiver.
Kinda late in the year though, No?

I love the soilless ! no question, also hempy bucket is consider as hydro as well ? :)
I don't know hempy buckets so take this with a grain of salt but AGAIN!! HYDRO is a soiless medium. anything But soil,or dirt . the stuff that gets your hands dirty. It has nothing to do with the container. It's not more complicated than that.
