well i was thinking of going soil and about 4 plants with a 400w light just nice and simple. I havent dabbled with hydroponics yet it seems all kinda technical and scary to me what with all the ppm and the ec (think thats what it is) ect ect it seems like it needs some real care and some real equipment i used soil last time i grew well all 4 times and the results where pretty nice apart from the taste and smell also every time i grew i changed the seeds i used but the seeds where cheap 10 seeds for 10 pounds but my bro passed me 2 expensive feminized seeds so thats what made me decide to give it another go should i go hydro or stick with the soil??
