It's crazy that you hear that hydroponic weed is more strong. It's great for keeping dirt out of the house and it seems like less bugs in the house. I prefer growing outdoor organic now. Free light and keep the mess outside.

Problem is, that so-called news media has a hypnotic effect on a lot of listeners. They actually believe it.

We have two growers represented at the rec Dispensary I manage that grow in Coco which is hydro to me. While the tremendous amount amount of high quality flower we carry from soil growers is mostly triple a and very potent, our top shelf is basically reserved for the first two I mentioned. This isn't because they're hydro but because of the herb. We get animal Cookies (29%) Mt. hood magic Durban (26%) funfetti (animal Cookies x cherry pie 22%) and fire Alien Strawberry (25%) from one and Dawgy Treats (chem4xcookies 26%) and Your Sister's Cookies (30% Chem sis x cookies) from the other. A few of these strains are super flavorful and most are super heavy hitters. The animal coohave been our top seller for almost a year and I've never seen a better example of what we try for as growers. It's the densest, frostiest, most colorful and potent herb I've come across in 20 years of smoking high grade. Would there be a more pronounced flavor if grown in soil? I think so. I don't even get the AC all the time with total access because it's almost too efficient for flower. Haha. But my store may be a microcosm of the greater cannabis grower community with regard to hydro and soil. It's hyped. I'm a soil man. But it's very good and I believe these guys are so dialed in that their yields are astronomical.

If you want to try hydro without making a big investment in gear, may I suggest you try Hempy Buckets as a first step? No moving parts, and the only downside is hand-watering.
