Lol...yeah, the seeds you 'dumped' there may have been from a plant grown hydroponically, but obviously that plant is growing in soil in your back yard... The difference is really only a matter of opinion and growing skill and sometimes good 'ol 'luck'. I've seen MASSIVE crops grown in both soil AND hydro, but the debate will always be which is 'better' - soil or hydro grown... both are good in my opinion - has a lot to do with the nutes, flushing, curing, and tons of other details but the growing 'method' shouldn't determine which is 'better'....
