There's two things I want in my grow: control and control.

coco: not enough control to be hydro......too much work to be soil. And I've heard of tons of issues with it......I think Dai just did his homework and headed off a lot of of its potential problems. I think if he'd not had hurricane Ike he most likely would not have had any grow problems at all but that's true I'm sure for ANY medium......not just coco.
