Soil Vs. Deep Water Culture

Hi,

I have hopefully a quick question. I'm completely new to all this MJ growing. I haven't started any seedlings yet, just getting my ducks in arrow before I start.

I was wondering what is a preferred growing medium for my situation?: growing in soil, or growing them in a deep water culture system?

I have a 4x4 dark room tent w/a 600w conversion ballast for MH & HPS. I am only going to be growing 2-4 MJ plants at a time for my personal use only - so I'm not sure which medium to use. And which brand nutrients should use? I'm in Halifax, Canada so all of the popular brands ex: Fox Farm, & Advance Nutrients have to be ordered, are they worth ordering or can I get my nutrients at Home Depot?


Thank you so kindly

i'm new to hydro growing myself and if you can mantain water temps the out come is amazing. as far as soil growing goes i used miracle grow potting soil and had some pretty sweet outcomes. out of the 2 i would choose hydro.

hi hidden door,

oh yeah good ol' miracle grow is always an option =)
I was also thinking about making some hempy buckets, i just found this http://www.growkind.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29638 looks promising, and affordable. too many options!!
