I was recently fortunate enough to be given a sample of some hydro grown. The buds were VERY dense and heavy. Not wet. Just dense and heavy. But when smoked, it was popping and crackling. I am guessing this is because of all the solids left from the non-organic fertilizers - but I'm really just guessing.

I know this is probably a big can of worms - since soil growers are going to put down hydro and the hydro is going to put down the soil growers. I sincerely hope we might have an honest, non-emotional discussion of the pros and cons of hydro vs soil.

Is ALL hydro done with non-organic nutrients? Would it be possible to grow hydro with organic nutrients and still get that same bud density without the popping and crackling when smoked?

Nope - I don't know a darn thing about growing. All I know is lugging soil around up and down stairs is a pain in the butt and it's heavy.
