1. ITS VERY SIMPLE TO PUT SOIL IN A BUCKET AND A SEED AND WATER,LIGHT AND TEMP. 24HR LIGHT TO START THEN WHEN YOUR READY TO FLOWER THEN 12/12. 12-14 WEEKS LATER YOU GOT BUD CLIP DRY AND SMOKE ITS VERY SIMPLE.
2. HERES MY THING, EVRYBODY GROWS DIFFERNT AND ALL I WANNA KNOW IS WHATS THE BEST INDOOR METHOD TO HAVING THE BEST marijuana.
3. ALL YOU GUYS ARE GONNA YELL AT ME AND SAY READ THE THREADS. OK BUT THAT DOSENT TELL ME NOTHING ESPECIALLY WHEN U HAVE ROOKIES AND PROS DOING THIS.
4. I NEED HELP TO UNDERSTAND THE BEST WAY TO GROW.
5. LAST MY EXAMPLE IS....YOU GROW WHITE WIDOW I GROW WHITE WIDOW USE THE SAME EVERYTHING BUT YOURS LOOKS AND GROWS BETTER. HOW AND WHY IS MY QUESTION.

The best way to grow is, with no exception, outdoors if you live in an area with a climate that supports it.
Now to kinda answer your question....it's really up to you and what you are comfortable with. Personally, I stay away from straight up hydro. Not because it doesnt work, it does! I just am not a fan of it.

My last three grows were in;
100% Perlite - By far the easiest and rewarding
Coco Coir/30% P'lite - Almost as easy as P'lite
Soil/30% P'lite - Always enjoyable and for some reason the best tasting

If you look closely you will see one ingredient that is common with all three grows. See what I mean?.....Check out the "Hempy Collective" thread --->The Hempy Collective You can always stop by my AK47 thread in my signature...that was the 100% perlite grow

I like soil as well, I use oven baked soil mixed with perlite. I filter my tap water and let it sit at least 24 hrs before adding nutes and watering. I top and prune my plants. I'm sure there are better methods but this works for me. I'm gonna give DWC a try sometime in the near future though

Hey Boneman, Very interested in the 100% Perlite method, would appreciate more details or links if you wouldn't mind.

damn i gotta figure this shit out i have no clue what any of ya is talking about lol

I'm only growing basil at the moment, but I'll second the 100% perlite. Hempy Buckets are giving me faster growing basil then I've ever seen before! And I'm still using my own home made organic ferts (now in hydro form)!

It's proving to be only slightly more work then soil, but with such a greater return it's well worth it.

indoor is the best. you can control every part of the growing process, begining to end! cant control mother nature. INDOOR IS WAY BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Growing all the time. That is the BEST way! Trust me!
