my first grow

There is a lot of debate about which of these two methods are better, and ultimately, it comes down to the opinion of the grower. Some feel that growing in soil helps to align certain intangibles(like good taste) while others feel that hydroponics are the next evolution in growing. With that being said, let me give you my opinion…hydroponics is better overall since it outperforms soil in numerous ways: Hydroponic systems tends to have fewer issues with pests Marijuana grows faster hydroponically You have better control over exactly how much, and type of nutrients your plants get Hydroponics tends to yield more plant matter per grow than with soil Certain hydroponic systems (such as top-fed DWC) can shave weeks off of the beginning stages of the grow. ​Short Answer: This question is up to the grower, but it is GWE’s opinion that hydroponics outperforms soil growing in pretty much every measurable category.
