Now it does grow bigger and faster, but I have had a single kolasoil plant out-yield hydro plants, when hydro plant showed serious hybrid tendencies and grew more foliage, thus creating too dense of foliage to get optimum bud maturity.

also, a plant reaches full potential regardless of medium grown in. Just the same as a plant vegged 3 months will take 3 months to finish.

I do have a question for you plastik! How do you know that all your bagseeds were females??? I really would like to know. peace
everyone slaps ppl with potentcy is genetic, but while true, also the conditions grown can allow it to better reach that genetic potential. I think we can all agree that hydro allows us to better reach this potential. in the outdoors, you will definately lose potentcy to the weather conditions. you will lose trichs, you will have rain, which will allow for less transpiration, and possibly the breaking off of trichromes.

"also, a plant reaches full potential regardless of medium grown in."

that is definately not true. if it is growing quicker, and in better conditions, then it is reaching more of its potential. giveing the roots more air in hydro, and not having to make them search for food, allows for it to reach its potential easier quicker. if anything, it only reachs the full potential the medium food and light will allow. that is like saying if you add C02 it won't help the plant further reach its potential. Hell, even with the best conditions you can provide today, you are still technically not reaching the plants potential..we are still far off from that. plants used to have 15x the C02 to use in the atmosphere than there is today, so technically they are reaching less potential today, and it has declined significantly over time. and it's all not just potentcy potential, it is also growth potential.

Oh and I know all of my bagseeds were female because there are preflowers in those pics, you just can't see them very well because it is only a 2 megapixel camera, and it is hard for me to get close up shots.
