If you are a beginner, I would start with soil....they are right, it is much more forgiving. It's the best way to learn how to grow. I don't know too much about hydro other than it takes alot of time and attention to make sure it's getting the proper nutes. And it's pretty easy to mess up if you don't know what you are doing.

I would suggest work with soil for awhile till you know a little more about growing. It's a fun hobby....good luck! :jointsmile:
