The system will grow whatever you put in it. It's not magic for chrissake....it's growing in a soilless medium. You put in crappy weed....it'll grow crappy weed. You put in good weed...it'll grow good weed. How hard is that?

And no, I don't feel "elite" for growing in hydro but I DO feel pretty good about not having to buy weed in today's world and since my hubby and I go through about an ounce a week and haven't bought any in over a year.....call that whatever you want.
