For me, Hydro is a lot easier.

I tried several times in soil and my plants kept dying. Overwater, underwater, bad soil, blah blah blah.

In hydro there isn't really any guesswork. First time grow went perfect. it might be a little more "work" measuring ph and occasionally changing the water, but you know you soil guys waste plenty of time looking at your plants for no reason ;-)

I can't attest to yield or speed differences, since i've never finished a soil grow. I would imagine if you kept the conditions perfect in soil it would be pretty similar. I just think it's a lot easier to provide "perfect" grow conditions in hydro.
noty johnson Reviewed by noty johnson on . hydro vs soil For years i believed that organics (growing in soil) was the only way to go.I recently allowed a buddy of mine to talk me into setting up my "pro hydro" room,and i must say that i have seen no major growth speed or quality enhancments,which leads me to ask...what is the fascination w/hydro? i would therefor like to have a debate. hydro and organic growers alike should list the pro' and con's of there prefered method.As a way to enlighten us all and perhaps finally settle the age old Rating: 5
