hydro vs soil

[Zandor]

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 argument.

Iâ??m sorry dude but you are not bringing anything new to the discussion. We have had this discussion with hundred probably even thousands of people and every time itâ??s the same story. If you know what you are doing then you can and will grow larger, bigger and more vigorous plants in hydroponics then organics. You yields canâ??t compare and the taste issue is just that a personal preference. You MUST flush your plants organic or Hydroponics you must FLUSH your plant. That and a properly dried and cured plant you will not know the difference except for the major increase in the yield.

Did you ever get yields like this from Organics�����NO you did not.

Organics just canâ??t push and follow the cycle of life for this great plant. You can only feed on the average and in hydroponics we can push the limits.

These plants yield 3 to 3.5 pounds dry every time; you canâ??t get that from Organics.

Itâ??s just personal preference in growing style and money. People who love organic will always have lower yields but they donâ??t care they still prefer the easy, simple, hands off growing of organics. It works for them and I even feel they think its healthier then man made nutrients. I would question things like salmonella and many other bacteria found in organic compost that is not matured properly can kill you. Or at least make you sick that has always worried me about organics. To many people only think they know how to make good healthy compost but if you make one mistake you can get sick and not just harm your plants.

End of debate; end of story.
