Im doing it for the first time and I should have gone with soil like you..

I thought I could get all fancy with hydroponics and I am just not getting the results that I should.. Im at about 2 weeks and the best two only have a few leafs, only about 3" tall. I think I fed them nutes too early. One of them is dying and the last two are just runt looking. And these are premium seedbank seeds.. one of which is somewhere in the long ass carpet in my livingroom (i.e. dont try to stick seeds in rockwool cubes over carpet.. learned that lesson real quick).
Howdy Aaron,

Yup..soil is way more forgiving,than hydro is,with hydro,you have to maintain strict parameters on the ph and the plants react more and faster,with mistakes made with hydro. You probably did give them nutes too early and if yer ph was too high,they wouldn't even be able to uptake those nutes to begin with.

When first learning how to grow,you shouldn't use high-priced seeds unless you can afford to lose them,yet,on the other hand,having seeds with good genetics,is very important,they have better structure,higher levels of thc,and are more disease and pest resistant.

When I first started learning how to grow,I used bag-seeds and I learned alot about what the plants need and how to make them thrive. Then I aquired some good genetics and saw the difference right away. The hardest strains for new growers,are the sativa dominate strains,hybrids and indicas are easier to grow and finish alot sooner than sativas do. White widow and Purple haze,ain't the easier strains to grow,I've heard tell,that WW can be finicky and I believe that PH is a sativa dominant strain,so you may not be satisfied with the yield or the buds,which tend to be more airey and less dense,because it's a sativa.

You should pose yer questions in the grow section,there are some very knowledgeable growers here.

Have a good one ! :stoned:
