no soil to DWC (Deep Water Culture) is almost entirely impossible and should be avoided at all costs....DWC is an artform in of itself and i dont really have much knowledge of it quite yet.....still gotta get around to it one of these days....if u want ur own smoke, let stick to str8 soil for now and then possibly in the future we could even delve into DWC together lol. But for your first grow, lets make sure u get some quality nuggets.....and if the popped the gerinated seeds are planted in soil, consider this day one!
