Sorry you don't like hydro man. Maybe you haven't had enough experience with it. Soil grows are very slow compared to hydro. I have total controll. When your other mediums become toxic your just about done. If I look like problems are starting I can change res and flush with clean water. Try that with soil. On my last grow with 100 watts, I got 112 grams in 2 months off 5 plants. The 6th one burned on the light. I cut all the burn off and it went another month and got another 226 grams off one plant. Between 6 plants I get 4 to 6 oz's a month. Small sea of green. You can also go organic with hydro. Once you see the growth rate of hydro you will not go back. If it's done right. There is a bit of work to it, but once tuned in you can sit back a watch it grow by the miunte.
