Hydroponics done right is not for the faint of heart, youâ??re right there. I donâ??t think the trial and error of what to feed and when to feed was an accident. A Good Refractometer or (Brix meter) will tell you how your nutrients are being absorbed and used by the plant. I have one but I only use it when there is a problem and my experience does not tell me what it is.

Taste is personal and I respect personal opinion. I can only give creed to what I grow and cure and mine is better then soil but again itâ??s my biased opinion. As an American I guess growing more pot in the same amount of time. Using the same space and growing with fewer plants is a good thing. The yield can be much higher then the same time, same space, same light, and same environment as soil. To grow 1.5 pounds from one plant will take what 6-8 months. With hydro you get that with ½ the time. You just need to grow in near perfect conditions and regulate everything to grow stress free KBS style.

Growing outside is not an option for a lot of people in the US. Growing over 99 plants moves you into the federal jurisdiction in the USA and that is just out of the question.

Itâ??s just nice to get 10 pounds of dried bud with 10 plants inside every 80-90 dayâ??s is allâ?¦.I guess that does make me a typical Americanâ?¦.hehe I never thought of it that way.


Soil is more forgiving for 90% of the people growing today.
Soil is slower to recover and slower to show signs of problems.
Soil does not require as much work as Hydro
Soil will not return the same yield as hydro grown for the same time period, amount of lights, and environment.
Soil cannot feed the plants fast enough is why it would lag behind hydro.

I have been growing in hydro for so long now I guess Iâ??m not the person to judge either. All I know is with lots of money and time you can grow 10 pounds or more with 10 plants. The caregivers I grow for all love it. I love it, and grow nowhere near the limit of plants California law allows for me and 6 other people. It does require cycle growing and is not for the faint of heart only because the cost is so much to get started in KBS most people stay away and I donâ??t blame them. I have noticed that different strains do not grow as well in hydro so I just stay away from them but that still leaves me about 100 that do. Pure sativa does not grow as well in hydro for example but a 40/60 cross will do just fine.

The potency if the THC is determined by the genetics.
The grower and environment determines the amount of THC the plant produces.
The more THC produced does make the plant more potent thus requiring less of the product to achieve the same desired effect. Hydro growing faster is why they say itâ??s more potent because the same time spent with soil and harvested will not have as many trichomes available to contain THC.

Soil is for I would say over 75% of the growers because they only need a few ounces from one plant and have other lives to live. Soil requires less money to setup and less work to keep going. After all this is a weed.

The taste I guess remains a personal choice but as long as it is flushed properly and cured correctly I donâ??t believe there is enough difference to tell. Most people who sell hydro do it for profit and they rush the drying and curing process like they rush the grow process. I still believe that the taste is determined by more of the variety of the strain and the curing process then anything else.

I will not waist time dignify the comment that hydro is â??minimalist scienceâ?ť that is plain bull shit and un-informed.
