I disagree with this... I use multiple hydro systems and the ease of control is much better. I currently run a SWC, DWC and Ebb N Flow. The only truth in this comment is that you need to watch your pH closely. No matter what size system or resivior you are using. You can build a small, simple and effective bubbleponics system for only a plant or two for cheap! If going chemmy with nutrients I can reccomend a few and if you want organic i can reccomend those as well. Better result and yields with hydro. Other than nutrients just buy yourself pH up & pH down plus a pH meter and you're all set!Hmm I guess you can go either way. You might have a better time of it with soil if you're new to growing but do better with bubble cause of the benefits of hydro. It's not 'hard' to do hydro but it needs more attention and oddly the smaller the system the more attention it needs. You need to watch your water pH like a hawk. In a small rez it can get out of control fast. Also, in hydro you'd be limited to hydro nutes. So, you couldn't really do organics or at least is harder.
It's kind of up to you and what's important to you.
