Wow WH, just really... wow! That is a heck of a story and some damn precision whining. That was a huge amount of trouble and expense for not even 2 oz yield. Think about how much wage you earn per hour (or could), add up all your hours for that dirt project, and think of the weed you could have just bought for all that. And then compared to your next harvest in hydro, it's enough to drive anyone to hydro and give them a complete and utter hatred of dirt farming. I think I more completely understand your disdain for dirt. I have no doubt that you could grow in dirt with a little guidance and practice, but I'm glad you don't.
