Only comment I can make here is that it might be a little easier to grow soil, but I find that pests are extremely more prevalent in soil grows. Spider mites, fruit flies, and other little buggers...seem to thrive around organic soil and open wet soil. I never have a problem when growing hydro only. Just saying.
