Veg growth in soil vs. hydro

Will my Jack herer autoflower this time around be more robust and have larger, much more dense and lessly populated colas due to being grown in a soil substrate versus my previous JHa in bubbleponics DWC? I notice much slower growth, is this an issue or don't sweat it?

Hey Cali. My ILGM Jack Herer is in week 7, you can follow my grow to compare with yours. I'm using techniques learned at https://www.cocoforcannabis.com/ . I did tons of research and decided that their "fertigation" approach worked well for me. I'll probably use the manifold technique detailed there from now on, because I'm trying to get the most out of a small light and a small tent. I find the manifold easiest to manage, and it keeps the canopy flat in my small space. What made the biggest difference for me was using coco like they describe on cocoforcannabis.com, with liquid nutrients mixed in a daily watering. As they say, it's hard to over-water coco. Watch the leaf color carefully, back-off nutes if dark green. I used a bit too-much in my grows over the last month, so I'm using no nutes for the next few weeks. HMU if you have any questions. Also, I enjoy watching Mr. Canuck's Grow on YouTube...I learned a lot watching him...and it's fun too. Don't over-do the nutrients. I just use the regular Miracle-Gro liquid from the store, mixing in about .2-.5mL per pint.
