Hydro or soil?

Hey everyone i am new to growing and want to know what would be easier, hydroponics or plain soil? Thanks guys


Travis

that's a loaded question, i like both

Yeah, what would you suggest to a beginner like myself?

I'm new too and at the moment doing hydro so i cant vouch for soil. Hydro is very simple though so far, pretty much just using chemical nutrients and adjusting the ph of the water. I would imagine dealing with soil would be more work especially if doing organic. I would recommend hydro especially if you are growin indoors. It being clean is a major plus imo

if you get good to excellent soil, then soil should be easier.

Thanks guys

soil i would say is easier, hydro is more interesting, nothing beats the moment when your roots hit the h20

Get some hydro meds and get some soil meds. Smell, feel and taste them like a critic would at the cannabis cup.
Then ask yourself which one you would want to grow.

I started growing my own meds because I got tired of all the hydro in the area.
It all smells the same, and most of it tastes the same.
I want my meds to look, smell, taste and feel like the strain I'm smoking.

this is a pretty self answerable question, lol. you can put a seed in dirt and it will grow.

The soil grow would be my choice as it's more forgiving of newb mistakes. If you get decent soil to start, and suppress the urge to over water and feed, you should be able to make it work for you. Hydro has less room for error, and it's more time consuming to balance everything. I can water/feed my plants when the soil feels dry, and then just let them alone to grow for a few days until they need another drink. Watching the light level so you don't let growing babies get burned is something everyone has to deal with, no matter the growing medium. Good luck with whichever you choose...
