Hydroponics vs. Organic

Hey there everyone, I am getting ready to start my first grow and have been doing some studying. I live in a small apartment and was planning on 6 plants at most. Problem is I can't decide whether to go hydro or orgo. So, if anyone could give me any input at all as to which technique will produce the highest quality medicine I would greatly appreciate it. Also is anyone has a favorite setup of either technique that would be a great help. Thanks in advance everyone!

IMHO growing in dirt produces the best meds and you know what you put in there. Going with chems produces more if you are a top grower but most people are not in that 5% group. Dirt easy = $, hydro much more complex = $$$ I switched to real organic about 6 years ago and have never looked back. I am also a little lazy so I look for a way to keep it simple without sacrificing quality and quantity.There is also less to go wrong and you can water every 5 to 8 days, no messing with Ph no spending big $$$ on whats new and great. I love it, O did I mention I have not had any bugs since I switched. Good luck

Organic for quality.

Hydro for quantity.

Let the debate begin...

Soil hands down produces a higher quality product.

ok now i know by saying what im about to say im going to show my newbness but im really trying to do this the right way. now then, i want to go for quality over quantity so organics (which i was already leaning towards). when you say "real organic" what exactly does it mean?

Organic soil and nutes.

I think you will get a number of opinions on what is organic. So for me having made a long journey getting to my real organics I think most organic's start with soiless mix and bottled nutrients. I did it that way for a number of years and was very pleased with the results. As you learn more you move to mixing your own soil and reusing it. Without any chems used. So it's up to you how far you are will to go down the road and the amount of time you devote to it. IN the end all I need to do is water and I like it that way. No flushing no nothing just water every 5 to 8 days.

i have grew in soil and i am on my first hydro grow. i have had much success in the past with mixing up soil. but im really pumped at how easy dwc is and how much faster hydo grows then dirt. i have never grew using hydro nutes in soil which i have seen some pretty girls come from. cant really say the rate of growth with them either but its kinda a middle
