Soil vs Hydro - purple ghost candy strain for both. Since hydro is know to be faster, we gave the soil a 10 day head start. Seed A: Soil - germinated on march 3 Seed B : Hydro- germinated on march 13 We have the hydro in a rock wool plug, we let this sit in a small soil pot for a week to allow some roots to sprout through the plug. Transplanted it to the hydro system yesterday and he is looking good. Both plants look healthy, excited to see how they progress.

Week 2 veg: photos show the weeks progress from the last update. Soil is definitely still in the lead, starting to see a lot of new nodes. Hydro is getting a water change & fresh nutrients every Friday. It does seem to be slower in development from our soil plant, may be due to some transplant shock. Leaves for the hydro look dark and healthy so we are just keeping a close eye for now. This coming week I will likely top the soil plant once 6 nodes high. Using Humboldts secret nutrients for both soil & hydro plants.
