I'm trying to weigh out the benefits of hydro vs. soil being used in my setup. Hydro is said to produce larger, faster yields which is why it sounded like an interesting route.
For my example, we will assume this is a smaller sized DWC hydro setup. How do you run such a setup? would you need an EC/PH meter? how much would that cost? is it possible to go without? Do you essentially just mix up new nutrient solution every so often and replace the water in the res?
it seems like hydro would turn out cheaper than soil if you did everything right, aren't you just essentially using the same nutes but minus the soil cost?
any info would be appreciated, thx.
