the last few posts, coupled with some of what I have observed in this trials done by academia in the botanical field is that the difference in grow types and the influence on flavor registers a difference of preference, but not other dynamics of taste or flavor like strength.
Please keep in mind outside feeding and growing tech that there are many factors that can skew results. Too much heat and other maladies can mute smells and leave the impression of inferior growing tech
Now in regards to flavor trials say with tomatoes it would seem that the preference is in accord with what you are accustomed to eating, so if you were raised on hydroponic tomatoes your more likely to prefer them
my honest feeling and experience is that you can pretty much replicate most of the components in the soil web and integrate them into hydro giving the new age gardener a best of breed approach
the organic gardeners are doing this already with aerated teas, which is giving them a way to accelerate soil biology so they don't have to let there soil mature and become active before use
I think as this happens, as both hydro and soil growers advance the respective playing fields will be leveled
I saw some absolutely fascination grows using this technique posted by big toke and he had hydro with bacteria well before I even understood it. I am not promoting any method, please don't misinterpret this, I am just pointing out that many of the scenarios I suggest have been conceptualized, designed, deployed and executed successfully well before I even considered them
pretty exciting stuff as I see it, and good for all.
