I grew for many years in soil. I'm currently on my 2nd hydroponic grow using drip irrigation and have to say my harvest is at least double what I was getting in soil and I can't tell the difference in quality.

I find it easier to make adjustments because the changes happen immediately, no waiting days for results like in soil and days again making corrections.

I started an EXCEL spreadsheet to track my grows and am having fun again since I switched to hydro. I look forward to taking readings, making adjustments and checking averages etc in the garden now. I was extremely frustrated with my last few soil grows and had several less than spectacular harvests until I switched methods.

So for me WTH, its hydro without question.
