Hydroponics Pros/Cons

[Ganjacito]

I understand the pros are numerous to any method of hydoponics over soil, (faster growth, increased yield, possible improved taste and potency).

But hydroponis restricts a grow to a set concentration and timing of nutrients for many plants in one grow room.

I have continual interest in multi-strain grows, with differing maturation schedules and nutrition needs. How does one get around that in hydroponics?

I suspect one does not, and best adopts a soiless mix until a phenotype is encountered just begging to be mass produced. Is this correct or no?

Really, I did a search.

Expand your operation so that you have a different reservior for your different strains and you can adjust the nutes accodingly in each res.

Uh.. duh

Thanks

DWC is great for multi strains. If you are doing one of each. Other wise I'd go with multiple wilmas.

 

[Ganjacito]

Please enlighten me. Multiple wilmas? I am sure I will use my hand on the flat part of my forehead when you tell me, but what is that? (Thanks for the strain separate DWC/Aeroponics idea, this board even gets better).

I continuously run 8-14 different strains in a perpetual grow using aero and dwc. Just find the best sweet spot for the strains and go from there.

I have only grown a couple times in soil and was thinking of trying a single plant just to see how different the yields,time and potency was but coming from soil and not doing much but give it water and a lil nutes here and there everything that seems to go along with a hydro setup is kinda mind boggling. I know it's gunna be a lotta research but can anyone point me to a method that's simple and not gunna break the bank thanks

Wilma systems are top drip feed hydroponic systems that have the reservoir underneath the pots. YouTube Wilma Hydroponics
