I used to do hydr. It's not much harder or more expensive imo. No need to be a chemist, just be able to measure nutes.Plants of all kinds since the beginning grow in dirt with few exceptions, I allways grow in dirt, ie fox farm ocean forest with few problems, growing hydroponic is more expensive, you need a higher level of skill and good adaptation to chemistry, and dirt is cheaper, I don't knock people who grow hydro and have seen some great plants, but dirt is easier to work with, but however you grow your weed and if it's done correctly who am I to judge?
It’s all that but it is more labor intensive. It’s why I switched to soil.I used to do hydr. It's not much harder or more expensive imo. No need to be a chemist, just be able to measure nutes.
Grows fasterSame here, a little extra water and my plants are good for almost 5 days, my question is why even go the hydro route to begin with?
I really like using coco to grow in. It gives you the best of both worlds IMO. Coco is definitely more hydro style of growing but I think it’s a little more forgiving than a true hydro setup. Also if you just read the plants you can correct any problems much faster with coco vs dirt. From my experience coco also seems to have a much faster growth rate vs dirt.The great divide is for the present going to consist mainly of growers using either dirt or hydro for the foreseeable future so that begs the question which one does what better?
I have been growing plants indoor and out of all kinds since I grew up and I have never once had the bravado to try my hand at hydroponics, but the more and more I look at hydroponics gone wrong the more I feel like dirt is a more stable way to go simply from the perspective that problems don't hit as hard or as fast giving ample time to correct deficiencies with out turning them into crispy chips.
Anyone a hydro convert out there able to give good guidance on why to try hydroponics if it's not a necessary evil?
P.S. of all the hydro setups I have researched ebb and flow tables sound like the best possible way to go, any thoughts?
I used to grow hydro ebb n flow. Yes, you can grow more in less time.The great divide is for the present going to consist mainly of growers using either dirt or hydro for the foreseeable future so that begs the question which one does what better?
