such a waste dumping perfectly good soil...the growshop companies are happy thou
oh hey petflora sorry for crashing your thread dude, you rock!
speaking about natural things, growing under lights is not natural too, so why not using hydro?
Outdoor, i use full soil, no container, indoor i use hydro, keeping it super simple as always. No PK, no additives, low ec and happy plants.
But if you prefer soil, it's up to you.
I say soil plants finish faster, i mean when i grow them. Why, because they stress of root bound very fast and flower in a hurry to perpetuate the strain, i guess, like in Morocco mountains.
#1 hydro is not for newbies NO pun intended .It is only complicated if you don't know what you're doing #2 your statement is biased its what you feel as unnatural so any thing you say I don't beleave your brain is playing tricks on you. You know like a Mirage .Growing from clones isn't Natural ,but I bet you do it.#3 yes a ten week strain is a ten week strain,BUT you all ready said hydro veggs faster How about Way faster so I can flower my plants a whole month before you can . So in reality I will be done for weeks earlier than a soil grow .#4 They do make organic nutes for hydro so how and why again is soil bud taste better than hydro?To each their own.
I find hydro complicated and full of potential problems and things that can go wrong. The main thing I don't like about hydro is I find it UNNATURAL. Another thing is the taste of the weed, organic DEFINITELY tastes BETTER.
Weed grown in hydro is like force feeding whereas in organic living soil the plants are free to choose what they want when they want it. Plants grown in organic living soil have superior immune systems.
Sure I only yield about 0,5gr per watt (I buy 15cm clones, veg them for 2 weeks in 20l smart pots)but I'm not in it for the money. I love producing top quality weed from plants that were happy and untreated with any insecticides or pesticides, just some aloe vera foliar sprays, barley enzyme teas, ACT from ewc and molasses.
I also save money by recycling my soil, making my own garden compost, EWC and using plants from my garden to make fertilisers.
The only thing I buy from the growshop these days are clones and bulbs and air filters. I think organic is also better for the environment.
Wait I hear ya...But yield, oh yea yield thats real important. LOL
UNNATURAL remember...or if you like ARTIFICIAL
I'm out of here, good luck to you all!
"The old argument that organic tastes better is laughable".......you are joking right?
I can only speak from personal experience and that is that organically grown weed DOES taste better than salt based ferts. I have read other people sharing this view. Pet you are the first person I have come across that does not share this view.
"Another great benefit of Hydro is growth, which is typically 2-4Xs greater. This is confirmed by many Greenhouse Seed YT videos"......LOL! Have you ever grown organically? Well I have grown in hydro and in soilless mediums and now finally and thank god I do ROLS and am growing the BEST indoor weed in my life with the least money, the least time and the least problems EVER.
I will call BS when I see it.

I kinda like that 'root bound' thinking, JL.
EDIT: sorry x2 Pet..

I'm lost did some one say that soil is better than hydro O HeRE WE GO AGAIN Uneducated statements..
so youre playin the 'natural' card. global warming too. TEHO. some day I hope to be as good as you are now, buddy."uneducated statements"
"growing from clones isn't natural"
LOL
"They do make organic nutes for hydro so how and why again is soil bud taste better than hydro?"
There is a difference between organic living soil and growing in a sterile medium (hydro, coco)+ fertilisers (nutes) of organic origin......you may get there one day, good luck WCS!!
