I've been doing hydro about 2 years now, and I find it to be fairly simple. The only problem is you really have to keep up your pH and really have to know what you are doing with the nutes since there is no "buffer" between the nutes and the roots like there is with soil. If you screw up in hydro, you have a much smaller window of time to correct it. If you have trouble with herms, there is a spray by Dutch Masters called "Reverse" that stops male flowers from growing.

Hi moz2009 !!!

The hermies are a real bummer!!

Your hermie problem was due to poor quality bag seeds, not soil.
Do some reading in the hydro section before you switch methods.

With Hydro I get larger plants, quicker!!

I find hydro a simple process and need less tending than my soil grows.
BE AWARE THAT HYDRO CAN GO TERRIABLY WRONG REAL FAST.
but so can soil !!
I use a method I would not recommend to anyone, but its easy, cheap, and gets great results. DYI BUCKET.

:rasta:can i ask why you would not recommend your method, easy, cheap, and good results, sounds just what i am looking for. i am going to do as much reserch as i can on all sorts of methods. but nothing to technical. all tips and methods on hydro will all be much appreciated. thanx.
