I am stuck. I have been hearing soo many different things on Hydro and Organic soil I just can't decide which is better. I can't tell, I have heard that Hydro produces a higher yeild and quicker plant growth but Organic produces a More Potent and better tasting plant. Help. Please give me all the information you have on either one.
Hydro is faster and you have total control. As for taste that's a matter of opinion. Yield is a little better for hydro. Potent is in the nutrients. I can make my friends think it soil grow when it's hydro. If your a new grower you should go soil first, it's slower but much easier and less start up cost.
If you have the extra bucks go hydro, its way faster but yeah I would go soil for my 1st grow... and I have heard the same about hydro and soil that you stated...
Soil is cheaper on the set up and for the food. If you are thinking about going hydro it is not to hard at all. The are two things though that is improtant to do. YOu need to purchase something to measure the PH and PPM. With hydro you like like to keep your PH around 6 wich is lower then what you would want for soil. Also the PPM has to be measured also. When I first start clones that have rooted very well, I will run them at half strength for the first week. then each week the PPM goes up as the plant becomes stronger. One thing though encourage anyone doing hydro is once a week change the water in the res. Run it with just water for 24 hrs before adding the food. This get rid of any access nut. build up on the roots. As far as quality either is good. You can blow the quality in the drying and curring.
U can grow organic hydroponic.
Yeap... just do search on these forums... it's been asked like 4 times in the last month...Quote:

Well what type of Nutes should I use. What are the best nutes for a marijuana plant? That will help increase potency and flavor? Or just the plain best?
Thanks
You may want to look into Mexican Bat Guano for the early stages... i have seen it work wonders for the pros on the site here... just food for thought
Stay UP :rasta:

Should I just buy a 30 site AreoFlow Hydroponics system or a 20 site and ad on to it. Or just buy two 20 site systems which would use less watts. Should I use 2 600 watt lights or one 1000watt light. does any body know where I can buy some cheap switchable ballasts. From MH/HPS.
