Hey everyone, I'm new here, but not new to growing. I have grown in the past using a 400w HPS and soil. Pressed for time, I harvested early and got only a measly 3 oz of fluffy/not condensed buds. They weren't too potent either.
I have since sold that setup and want to get something bigger and better. I have been aware about the benefits of Hydro as far as efficiency and time is concerned. I also know that soil grown buds taste better and are healthier. I'm not sure about the yield comparison.
I'd like to know from the more experienced growers, who could offer me their suggestions. Here are my concerns:
1. Time - I could either do a hydroponic setup and schedule my vacations around growing... but this means I can't continually rotate clones/veg/flower. Or I can grow in soil, but it takes longer to grow. With soil I may be able to buy a watering system so I can go on vacations and not worry about the plants drying up or the roots rotting/burning.
2. Dedication - I know there are different types of hydro setups, and some require more work than others. But overall, which is the best (subjective) way?
3. Yield - I'm not sure which setup results in more yield. I'm leaning toward hydro.
Thanks in advance!
