What a wonderful array of responses! You have all given me much to ponder before diving in. If anyone else should have anything to add then by all means do.

Have a beautiful day y'all!

greenworks Reviewed by greenworks on 02-17-2010. Soil vs. Hydro Hello good people, So here I pose the age old questionâ?¦ soil vs hydro? I am in the process of setting up here in NM and would love to hear about your experiences. I will be growing organic at an altitude of 7000ft. and am selecting strains that are best suited for this elevationâ?¦ any suggestions on what strains (if any) will thrive here? What are the differences in grow time with hydro vs. soil? What was is the difference in yield per plant? Which one is more susceptible to mites Rating: 5

Cool indeed!

Have you ever tried those "super pots" yet Mr. Cool? They are a pot sewn out of geotextile fabric. Like a big net pot for soil. It allows air all the way around the root ball and they say it increases growth by 25%.

I saw them at Santa Fe Hydroponics a few weeks ago. The word on the street is they are really great. I was wondering if anyone had used them?

Haven't tried them,but thanks for the tip.

These things look like they would be great outdoors as well. The 5 gallon size is about $3 and weighs nothing. It will roll up in a ball and you can stuff it in your pocket. The cool thing is they will ship right to your door via UPS anywhere! If you stuffed it with coco it would weigh nothing and you could grow a 5' plant in it easy.
