easiest is soil, then ebb and flow hydroponics
but it depends on your situation
getting rid of spent soil in the city polly isn't that easy

[Dazed4now]

soil by far
bud grown in soil tastes better and has a way better high to it
its all the nutrients and chemicals they put in the water in hydro that gives it a chemical taste and high
you can have a great yelid off soil and its way easier and tastes better in the end

If you want to find out, how pot grower realy are. Buy some of their pot and wait a week. And then let them test it " not as good as mine etc"
Hydro ebb and flow , with 99 plants is the only way to go. Try to get rid of 400 gallons of dirt every 60 days.
As far as taste flushing them the last few weeks , removes most of any left over salts if any.

Zandor or Latewood to answer this question. And, is this really an Advanced Techniques question to begin with ?

it really depends on what you consider easy...

the easiest way to grow period is to throw seeds in the back yard and hope they grow... and often they do grow... into massive trees...

the easiest way to manage plants and influence their outcome is aeroponics... you are the master in an aeroponics grow... although, to be the master requires proper tools and sometimes it can be very time consuming...

if money is no object and you crave information regarding growing and know that this is for YOU.. then the easiest best and most rewarding set up is an aeroponic set up that you will eventually incorporate with a doser....

if growing is something that you just want to try for shits and giggles and your on a budget... the best method is miracle grow + cfls + water...

yep I said it...

and NOW you KNOWM...

there are many ways to grow.. and many differrent methods have merged and blurred the lines... which is what makes gardening so much fun..


if you enjoy gardening more than smoking.. then aeroponics is definitley for YOU..

If the question is "which is more potent weed"

I think its unarguably hydroponic. The overall THC levels of weed in general has sky rocketed since the birth of Hydroponic grown weed and anyone who knows the proven scientific facts would we hard pressed to deny it.
Its clear that many 'prefer' outdoor weed, and there's nothing wrong with this of course, but the most potent weed is undoubtedly hydroponic.
Were it not for hydroponic methods we'd have A LOT less of the fantastic engineered strains we have today.
I read that studys have shown the weed grown these days is up to 20 times the potency of the weed smoked in the 1960's.
On the other hand, cannabis triggered drug induced psychosis is often attributed to high THC hydroponic weed. Its really up to the user/grower.I personally far prefer hydroponic weed, but we cant forget that mother nature has done a great job for over three thousand years...to deny that there is fantastic weed grown with outdoor methods would be down right silly.
In short, a skilled and succesful grower either hydro or outdoor is a skilled grower...either method produces some good weed...and some average weed...but enough theorey...lets just smoke it!

You've been reading alot of propaganda, the highest THC content of weed today is around 22-24% white russian i think. Which means the weed in the 60's was around 1-1.5% THC? I refuse to believe that 40 years of technology could have advanced cannabis that much more than mother nature in 5000yrs

which is the easiest and most recommended way
The easiest way is to sow some seeds in the forest and do nothing else until harvest. You can achieve great results this way. You just need to take an attitude of not really caring what happens. Your'e not doing any work except planting and harvesting, and you'll get weed for the effort, sometimes massive amounts. Most people agree that DWC (deep water culture) is a great hydro set up for begginers. This is very easy also, and done properly will yield much more than soil. For effort vs yield this method can't be beat. Your title mentioned aeroponics. It is a massive yielder, but not easy by any means.

bud grown in soil tastes better and has a way better high to it
This of course is utter nonsense. For various reasons hydro can yield some of most potent weed possible. I'm not saying you can't get potent weed in dirt, but hydro is by far the better option for a great many reasons. Do words like bigger, better, faster, healthier and more, appeal to you? If so, your the type of person that should choose hydro for your grow method. As far as dirt weed tasting better, this is a load of crap. You can make your hydro weed tast like anything you want, and it's way easier to do so than if the weed was in dirt. How about vanilla, or mint, or coffee? If you are worried about chemicals or a chemical taste, you can grow all organic. Whatever you do, to both hydro and dirt weed, it will affect the taste. However, it's much easier to completely rid your weed of all unwanted taste if you are growing in hydro. You simply use water instead of nutrients the last week or so. Try getting the fertilizer taste out of dirt weed that easily. Many people don't flush like this, so sometimes people get some hydro weed that they didn't like the taste of. I usually don't flush, and my weed tastes just fine.

^^^if all that is true then how do you explain the number of experienced growers on here and other sites that have tossed their hydro set up in favor of soil or coco,soiless meduim.i do not beleive they chose to switch for less potent weed.
