Soil is much more forgiving, with more options.

Weed cannot be any stronger than its genetic background. THC is a molecule that cannot be strengthened beyond its genetic make-up
Well the first part is true, dirt does act as a buffer.

The second part is half true and should be clarified a bit.

It's more a matter of bring out the best in the plant. The environment, nutrients and lights affect THC.
It's more a matter of us degrading the quality and not providing the proper nutrients and conditions then the plant going beyond its make-up. That's why 2 different people can get different yields out of the same seed.
