Dirt Vs Hydroponics Vs Aeroponics

Now that I have got everything situated, the project begins.

I'm going to see witch one of these works best.
Obviously, aeroponics will be best.

I will have two types of dirt:
-Organic (Homemade)
-Fertilized

I will also have two hydro systems:
-Ebb and Flow
-Drip Sys

And two aeroponic systems

Nutrients used will be Dutch Master Advance and some Liquid Karma

400 Watt MH and then HPS lamp will be used.

Any1 else have any ideas for more productive yield?

You might want to consider adding coco-coir based hydro to your list. It has a lot of positives to offer and is very forgiving of mistakes. I consider it the best points of dirt and the best points of hydro combined.

I think Ive spent enough... no more cash so i'll try it in later crops.
Still i'll give it some research.

i'll have a shot of aero with a fog back bartender. and micro scrog it.


i mean, that's what i could "hypothetically" be doing.


enjoy the grow

Organic soil grows are technically fertilized soil, you just get the fertilizer from different sources.
I moved this to growing where it belongs.

hey, you might want to consider throwing out that foil and getting some mylar or panda film every wrinkle in the foil will creat a hot spot and you don't want that.

Tinfoil looks shiny but is not reflective. Don't believe me? Put a piece on a photocopier and hit go... Polaskyparty is right, and I agree Panda is a great choice!

PP, every time I see your username I think of good times at the Polish Club! Woo hoo! Horseshoes and Jesyznowka (or however ya spell it lol)... what a great combo.

What about plain white styrofoam?

You have 3 options with the walls, paint the walls flat white, cover the walls with Mylar, or styrofoam will work, but will hold heat more than the other 2 with good ventilation it will be OK.

This should be interesting but allot of work using all these grow medias and keeping track of it all.

I vote aeroponics, my system can grow a 1ft tall plant in little over a week after the first leaves develop
