What do you do with your soil if you need to leave town for a few days? With hydro I could leave for a week or two and my plants would still get watered just like I was home:)

hire a mexican to water it... =\

A plant can go about a week without a watering, but I just don't leave for too long to tend them.

the learning curve and the cost of the meters and nutes along with PH up and down stopped me. i was given a half grown plant in a diy five gallon setup , it was too much for me to learn half way through the game , it is something i def. want to try again on my own terms and my own set up , later

Holy crap! lol I just use tap so nobody around me sees anything! Although water is less suspicious then bags of soil all the time. I mean a person can only have so many house plants. lol

I grew 8 plants with 1 small bag of miracle grow.... the soil bag fit inside the store bag... and tap water/rain/snow, it's nice. that's all I use in my grow. I have no need for a ph meter or temp meter. it's alll well

that' the one thing i love about hydro, all you really need comes straight from te bath. If i owned a place i was willing to goto town with, one could easily plumb a tap straight into the grow area, score!

It's all about what works for you and your situation though. I started on soil, moved to coco, and then moved to DWC, hydro seems to be the way but i'm still contemplating changing things up just so that it flows a bit better with my MO.

Yup. I'm excited. A bit down that I didn't do it to start. But its been one lesson after another.
