Ive heard they have too but havent been there in a while. i think i saw a few bags of some promix stuff but im not sure if its the same as what i use.

i get this blue bag thats about 1x1x2 and its compressed and has always worked fine for me. Theyve changed the look of alot of the products and blend in very easily because most bags are plane white with dull colored writing on them

I grow hydro, and while it may not be the best tasting bud ever, I have never felt like or been have told, that it doesn't taste good and it has certainly never tasted bad. I do always cure my bud so perhaps that's why.
Good flush and a proper cure no matter how you grow soil/hydro it still brings out the flavor

My question is should i get a 3x3 flood tray and start flooding or stay soil and get some indoor grows under my belt. I have lots of good experience outdoors but only a few cfl grows indoors that produced an onion or two per but it was fluffy not very powerful even for the good beans that I used Strawberry haze.
I dont think soil is better than dro nor dro better than soil. it's all about which do you prefer and work best with, soil is more forgiving but dro is a bigger yielder(if you give both the same veg time) either way you can grow sum dank meds if everything is kept under control

See thats what i remembered, so if you use pro mix I personally would rather use it to make a good supersoil, it'll be easier to get deficiencies with pro mix if your new to growing. gotta add everything your self when you use pro mix

You cannot get anywhere near of yield in organic as you can in Hydroponics. Whoever is telling you this is full of it. As far as this taste thing that is also a fallacy as the taste of anything is determined by the genetics of any plant grown. The only difference between organic soil and hydroponics is in soil you are letting the soil(bacteria and enzymes) break down the fertilizer for you and in hydroponics you provide the chemicals directly to the plant. Remember this everything in this universe is determined by the periodic table of elements and both organic and hydroponics are bound by this table and not some persons fallacies.

Nah. You have some facts mixed up. First of all, Ive seen soil plants yield as much as hydro, it just took longer for veg cycle. Second, tastes does come from genetics, but they also come from the way it is grown. If you can't tell a difference between the two, well then you need to smoke more is all I can say.

Which means that hydro yields more in an equal time cycle thus hydro yields > soil yields. And if you're 100% on soil taste being better than it's you who need to find some dank ass dro. I bet 99% of you have never tasted that cali dro so you don't know what you're talking about lol.

No, I wasn't born in the central valley. Kings county. So yeah I've never tasted Cali bud, What are you twelve.
Hydro is faster so yes you can pull more weight in less time, but plants the same size yield the same weight. I believe you said people can not get the same yield, which they can.

I don't need to find squat, I know dro. I'm saying if you can't tell a taste difference from chemically grown and organic grown bud then I'd stop bragging about being from Cali, bro.
