Hey mate, best medium is a complete h20 system although can be very unforgiving. Soil can be the same in many ways but the affects occur slowly. (PH Issues, nutes, salts).

In my opinion a mix of 50/50 perlite & vermiculite or even 75/25 is a great growing medium

tristan1986 Reviewed by tristan1986 on . whats an easy grow medium Hi, I was hoping I could get away with growing in soil this time until I can afford some hydro buckets. soil seems to be a little tricky for me. probely because I am watering to much and fertilizing to much. does any body have any sugestions for me I am looking for the next best growing medium other than hydroponics. should I even bother with soil or should I just try to build a bucket system.
