People who went from soil to hydro growing, question for you.

Do you find that you have much less problems with hydro than when you grew in soil? I'm doing half hydro plants and half soil plants, and man my soil plants have become a major headache 5 weeks into flowering. I wonder if I should just switch to hydro for good lol. What do you think?
 
I personally don't have the ability to do soil. Many say it's very very easy, but I find it more an art form than anything else. Since I'm a science guy, I find the exact measurements and formulas with hydro much easier for me. When I've done soil, I completely destroyed every single plant, but in hydro I've had nothing but outstanding success. Many say soil is much more forgiving, but to each his own. I'm not sure if anyone could really tell you what's best for you.

i9ts whatever suits you bro, if you like hydro better than soil then go with hydro. or vice versa. i personally like soil but def would like to try hydro, maybe when i get some extra money.
 
hydro will kill you if you dont have alot of experience, mess up one time with your ph and ppm and its game over. soil you can just flush it out and all is well.
hydro is very touchy

I'm kind of feeling like the opposite of that right now haha. Soil plants, a lot of the leaves look like shit lately (they started great though). Been dealing with gnats and leaf issues like crazy (yes I'm a noob), but my hydro plants are perfect. It's crazy. I just feel like if I keep my PH correct, PPMs on and the temp right things will keep going fine. I'm not far into flowering though so shit could change. Fingers crossed.
