First Soil Grow...... HELP!

[sweetstickylady]

I'm growing Fire Bubba and Urkle White. I am using FF/OF and LW. I also have it in hydro and I'm wondering is it normal for the clones to grow slowwwwer.
My Hydro clones are 3-5 inches and my soil is only maybe a inch. I'm using B.C grow and B.C Boost by Technflora. both grows are 33 days old. Pics will come when I get my camera back up and going. I can't find the charger.

The girls in soul will grow A Little slower. Especialy in the beggining.
Also the soil mix you are using has planty of nutes in it.
I use the same soil mix. And I do no nutes at all in veg. Hope this helps.

I wasn't using nutes (and they were looking good)at first but then I was scared because they seemed to be moving so much slower. Thanks for the response!!

soil compared to hydro you are definatly going to see a drastic difference in growth rates. hydro grows almost three times faster than soil. although soil may equal slower growth rates compared to hydro the quality from the soil is gonna be that much better. the plants are growing more natrually so the flavor and high will feel more natual. i personally think outdoor soil grown offers the best flavors.

the only time i've ever seen soil growth rate come close to hydro was when i started using bio-bizz soils and nutes. ever since my first grow thats all i will use. they focus on the good bactierias and fungus' that colonize the roots helping them to absorb nutes and water more readily. i've had plants totally root bound in five gallon pot after only five weeks of veggin. bio-bizz is like viagra for roots.
