Sell me on Hydroponics!

I am just finishing up my first soil grow. I have 15 plants in all stages of growth in a 3x2 closet. The closet is 6ftx3ft so I am only using the back of it. I have decided I wan to go with an ebb&flo. I will only be begging for one week as I want to keep them short and quick. I'd rather have many small plants than a few big ones. I will probably have two independent setups so I can do a staggered harvest.

Now, I know hydroponics is better than soil, but my question is this.

Let's say I've got two clones from the same mother. I put one in soil and one in hydro. What will be my yield, height, and total time difference? For example let's say the soil plant yields 1 ounce and finishes in 65 days an is 2ft tall. Why would that plan had been grown hydro with light/temp and all other conditions being the same?

Thank you all and if anyone has links to a ebb&flo diy that would help.

In hydro I get anywhere from double to quadruple the yield of soil, depending on the strain and setup.

i got 3 things to say in favor of hydro, simply put, bigger better faster!!!!

if you do your research you will not have to be sold on anything, and that includes hydro and life as well.

soil can be better for flavour if you do it right and go organic, hydro yields kill soil yields

When I grew in soil I had to do a 8 week veg time to get the size I wanted WITHOUT topping.

Now I can get the same size plants... topped (hacking off 3-4 nodes too... not just the top node)... in 6 weeks they are ready to flower.

Hydro gives great results when you're good and attentive to the system, so make sure you're ready to work a little harder than you would with soil, but once you got it down it's great.

Dont let people scare you with the work harder stuff. Just build yourself a quick and efficient daily routine.

Its EASY PEASY! PROMISE! Dont over complicate things. Keep your pH and PPM under a constant monitor and you will do just fine!

Much faster VEG stages, I do 3-4 weeks after I clone. You will have less bugs, probably spend a lot more money, and might even fail the first time. All I can say is watch out who you take advise from, a lot of experienced growers here, and a lot of hot air too.

This man speaks the truth!!!

i got a 4x4 ebb an flow tent. this is my first grow, and yes, urbanaero was right, ull spend alot of money. i got almost 2 grand in my setup and im still finding tons of things, big and small, that i could add to make it more efficient. but i had a buddy who grew sum outside his house last summer. planted early may, harvested early september, his tallest plant being about 17". my grow, i planted april 1st, currently on day 7 and ALL of my plants are already taller and bushier. its definitely worth the money in my opinion, from what ive seen anyway. as long as u do ur homework, follow instructions and just experiment, ull catch on quick. check my sig for my 1st grow, i think mine are lookin decent

**currently on day 7 of flower...my bad, been celebratin saturday all mornin LOL
