I've been growing hydroponics for a little over a year now. I had three moderately successful harvests, and one epic failure at 5.5 weeks into flower on the fourth and just had my fifth fail 2 weeks in because of root rot. The thing is that I am CONSTANTLY fighting root rot and other crap in hydroponics. I've used ebb and flow and DWC and had it happen in both. While my yields have been somewhat successful, I don't think they are anywhere near where they should be. Secondly, I have not been satisfied by the taste of any of my plants and many have told me that soil has a more natural taste to it. Whether thats true or not, I don't know.

So my main question is, what is the best kind of commercially available soil to use and where can I get it? I have Jorge Cervantes' Medical Grow Bible so I have a lot of info there, but I just need to know what I need to get started. I have one mother plant living and my plan is to take a set of clones and flower the mother in DWC, and then once the clones root, plant them in soil. So let me know what you guys and gals think.:jointsmile:
