Hey!
If you're a beginner grower I suggest you go with soil at first.
Hydroponics can be a bit hard to manage for a beginner.
You have to learn how to take care of your plants, techniques etc.. and what's going with as all the hydroponics equipment.
If something goes wrong with the hydro or your nutrients is off balance you have to change the water. Controlling humidity, temperatures..
Go with the old school pot and soil method, see how that goes for you.
And as you learn, you can try new methods.
Good luck and happy growing!
