So I'm just curious about all my fellow brothers and sisters on RIU and weather they started out on soil or hydro (or other).
I actually started in soil and have been dirt farmer ever since. Now that Iv'e started to get good on soil, I would love to start experimenting with hydro. It would be cool if yall would take a walk down memory lane and tell what growing medium you started with.

Also if you know of any good posts of basic hydro setups, accessories and just the basic principles of hydro, it would be awsome cuz I'm looking to start "dabbling".

And just because...i'm bored mostly...some pics of some white rhino and thai stick I grew a while back.

Peace and good livin

Hydro is expensive but has it's advantages

Nice work Scotts. lookin tasty. And IDK...I just figure there's always more to be learned. (especially when herb is involved). Hydro also appeals to me because it seems neat, clean way to go about growing. Not that I would EVER leave soil behind. But yea...I would deffiantly just like to learn more about hydro. thanks for the posts so far guys.

Honestly, I have been in the same boat as you because I thought HYDRO was an impact for good bud but honestly it is not IMO.

If you are going to give it a whirl, I would start with bubbleponics because it makes so much sense.

I started with using dirt just seeing if I could get the plant to even start. I then purchased some CFL’s, and then moved onto a 400 watt hps/mh switchable. Now I have 2 rooms 6 lights, 4 ebb and flow tables (self made) and a whole lot of love for the sport of smoking and growing! 420 for life!!!!
