    soilless growing question?

    Whats up guys? Hoping to find a good cutting soon. I am wondering what would be the difference in yeild and time difference in using a hydroponic setup versus a soilless grow? I Will use perlite, baled peat, and vermiculite for the medium of a soilless grow. It seems if The medium is watered and dried about once a day or every other day the plant would thrive like hydroponics. Any advice?

    soilless growing question?

    Hydroponics will grow quicker but they require more hands on experience too. The Soil-less mixes are much more forgiving then most other hydroponics systems used today. They do not grow as fast as a true Hydroponics system will but they will grow faster then dirt. There is even a difference between hydroponics techniques too. Full Drip systems grow faster then Ebb & Flow and Ebb & Flow systems grow faster then Soil-less systems.

    Soil-less will grow faster then soil. Theyâ??re many choices in soil-less medium Rockwool slabs; Grow cubes, and Coco Peat are also good choices too.
