first a couple ?? about the workshop,was there any lawyers there to speak?thats what i really wanted to go so as to ask ??but i also wanted to see dana's setup but from what you said above it sounds close to my very first setup and what i used b4 i came here."did'nt have the money to do the whole setup over again atm because all my gear was crushed in fla".anyways my setup was/is dwc x aero combo.

and senorx i have a friend that lives in iowa he's been growing for 30+ years he was so hell bent on soil.everytime i would say hey u need to try my setup or any hydro set up he would say nope soil is best.then after i started to show him my grows he tried it and now he says he did'nt know why he stuck so close to soil other than he's just an old dog that did'nt want to go outside of that comfort zone.now he says he will never grow in soil again other than his outdoor grows.at first he did'nt want to try it cause he said it looked way to hard and so much more to do.really it is'nt to me it's alot easier.and indoors all the mess that comes with soil.

another funny thing is u hear people talk about i want organic hydro is junk soil is the best blah blah.i have a uncle that grew in soil for 15+ years.i took him some of my first grow done in hydro with a/n nutes and he swore up and down it was soil grown.
Rob Corry was the first speaker, and did take questions, but there were many more questions than time to answer them, since it was supposed to be a grow seminar. I found it ironic and something of a non-sequitur that although he implored us all to pay our taxes in order to help legitimize the mmj business, he admitted when pressed that by doing so you may be admitting to a Federal felony should the next administration not be as inclined to look the other way.

As to the organic thing, I'm more concerned with what the patients want. If they think it's important, then it is important, whether it would be important to me or not. Perception is reality.

I am pretty tired of lugging and cleaning up soil, especially since I just finished planting a bunch of clones which meant lugging 5 bags of soil around my house and up and down stairs. Although I am too old for that shit, I can't afford a $1200 aeroponic system, or the risk of power outage, pump failure, or operator error causing the loss of a whole crop. I may down the road try out a small system, but not for a while yet.
