ok ok in my defense my original statement was as a rule, most hydro seems to be harvested way too soon (as most commercial grow ops) . And I believe most commercial grow ops do harvest too soon motovated by profit/shorter cycle, this is not a blanket statement, takes patience is all and I'd say most personal growers know when to chop em. Your exactly right about each to his own and each does, and yes I am very partial to soil for my style space and time.Hmmm... Everything that I have been reading from users on RIU and other internet sites say that hydro produces better yields per plant than growing in soil does.. I think ease of growing depends on the grower. Kind of the "to each his own" method. Personally, I don't mind spending a bit of extra time and money on my plants if I feel like I am going to get more out of them. You are also making a hydro system sound complicated. Your opinion could also go the other way as an argument. If you want to mess around with pots, potting soils and mixing nutes and things into your soils, watering techniques and meters to monitor humidity/ temp etc then god bless you and wish you the absolute best.. See what I mean? It sounds like you are partial to soil, which is cool if that is what you feel best at, but at the same time it sounds like you are crapping on hydro systems...when hydro systems have proven results. Both in yield and veg/flower times. Potency( quality in your words) is really only affected by strain and people say taste is partly determined by hydro or soil grows. The other part is things added to the grows that can affect that a bit.
I still don't know exactly even know what your thread was trying to accomplish though. It sounds like you were trying to gain more card holders to grow for at first, and then the second thing you do is start shitting on Hydro growers then you repost and contradict or cover what you initially said. So you can see why they would get defensive. I have yet to do a single grow, so I am neutral to this. But I have decided to grow hydro as I think that is an easier concept for me and makes sense to me given my situations.
If you feel like soil is your medium and you do best at that.. Then that is great. But I don't think that coming on here stating an opinion, contradicting that opinion when people question you about it... and then being condescending "your beloved hydro" is going to win you any points.. Good luck though..
My thread says greencard holders only... Alot of folks are totally in the dark on how or where to turn. I'd like to see as many people that can start now and with some patience and study with alittle effort most anyone can make an attempt at growing and start today with very little investment or commitment, some like yourself don't mind the extra and that's great and fun. There is so many variables to consider and explore. The more that start the more available meds for the needy. Heck I'm in heaven have my patients, all legal, give it all away no money ever and encourage everyone that can. oh I wish you the very best but really consider the soil system in 3 gallon pots, easy to move around turn and water. If you check out my last Amnesia Haze grow, it's a good example of my style.
