Hydroponic or soil - differences in taste?
From what I can see on this website, hydroponic systems tend to give greater yields than soil-grown projects. However, I also read that the aroma is not as rich. Did someone here try to grow the same strain once in soil and once hydroponic and can give a personal taste review?

Favorite Soil - Similar to Happy Frog Potting Soil
Favorite soil? Right now I am using Happy Frog potting soil in 5 gal fabric pots. I ran out of soil and need more for the last 2 of my 5 plants. Does anyone suggest a specific soil they prefer similar to happy frog? Best feeding schedule and method - top-dress or through water?

Half way done week 3 of flower. Just wondering if there are different nutrients I should be adding. I'm using general hydroponics. Just using what it says to on the bottle for feeding. Do the bud candy add that much growth? Blackstrap molasses to water? When? Any advice please?

Plant does not drink nutes500ppm runoff
Why the smallest plant does not drink nutes ? The one in the video that I mention is having 500 ppm run off . What shall I do with the nutrition in order for the growth to explode like the other plants? What else I can add in this case and do I need more light for this amount?

Can I combine treatments into one?
My question is pretty simple. I wanted to give my plants a light foliar treatment and also wanted to include some neem oil. Is it OK to mix the two together or should I do it separately? I'm sure it's likely fine to mix them, but didn't want to take a chance. Thanks for helping!

Droopy plant
First thought over watered in a fabric pot feeding 3ml a day in 1L ph’d water, 24 hours later no improvement. Now I’m pushed to a nitro excess or a feed excess as most leaves are shiney solid green. Still using oldtimer grow as 5 days into flower. Should I flush and move to bloom

Ec rising in hydro (6th week flowering - closed circuit tank and drip)
At the end of every day, EC rises by 0.2 at least. Starts at 1.60 and then in their evening it goes up to 1.83 ! So I have to add water (2L) in order to go down. Does it have to do with the fact they had overfeeding, toxicities and deficiency so they don't feed well ?
