its a matter of opinion. u cant say one is better than the other. apparently the widowman likes soil. but its not a fact that soil is better. u can grow just as much bud off hydro or soil. although hydro can typically grow faster because the roots dont have to reach out for more air, bc its constantly supplied with oxygen. better quality ganja is a matter of opinion. u may like pizza huts pepperonis on ur pizza but not papa johns because they are different, same thing just made different. same thing made a different way. thats y there is no strain out there that is better than all the rest. its just a matter of what u like. so grow in soil and in hydro and see what u like better.
