ok hempies do work good for others but i still say soil is better, i didnt give up to soon either. i planted 2 hempys i started them in soil for a week then into the hempie pots. and the seeds i planted at the same time in soil were ready to be flowered in 2 weeks, the hempies looked like they grew an inch in a month so my soil beats the shit out of hempy, and also it takes much longer to root a cut in water, it also has a lower chance of surviving. but this isnt my thread so im not gonna continue on this
