My weed tasted just fine. There was no lack in confidence over it. But hydro doesn't taste quite as good as soil imo. that is countered by the speed of growth. Where on earth did i say my plants didn't have taste?
My growth was plenty fast enough, my plants were plenty healthy enough (until i started getting really lazy and just started forgetting to fill the bucket at all
) and the bud was great. I don't understand your points. I was not attempting to grow the best weed in the world, i was growing weed that was plenty good enough for me and others to enjoy. By your logic i could say you don't know what you're talking about. You can maintain your ph and water level all you like but you'll never grow as fast and well as you want unless you have co2 supplemtation, or whatever.
I grew in my own manner, and i got great results. Deal with it. Why does you haveing issues growing in this manner mean that i must also have had the same issues?
And FYI. My first year of DWC i did everything by the book, topping up, letting water sit, checking ph, temps, this that and the other. and figured sod this and just let them drink their bukets and hey, you know what i experienced upon changing the growing methods? Nothing. Until, as i said, i got too lazy for my own good and couldn't be bothered to fill up the res at all, but i did that understanding the drawbacks.
