for me, hydroponics was amazingly easy :wtf: ... but, I am a relentless reader and researcher, plus, I have lots of time to monitor the plants ... I had great advice from xcrispi, too :thumbsup: ... but, I recommend beginning growers to definitely go with soil grows ... hydro can fix deficiencies fast, but it also creates problems fast, if you're 'off' too much ... :smokin:
