Can someone give me pros and cons of each of these growings? I have started my first grow in soil but am thinking about going to Hydro. We planted the "popcorn" on June 29th. and everything is going as planned but I have heard Hydro is stronger, cleaner and faster. Any help will be much appreciated.

soil is better cuz well clean up is easy setup is way easyer and if u have nute bur its a lot eser to flush the plant but with soil there salt buld up can occur but its easy jus flush the plant

Wow, thanks for the contridicting input dude. Which is which? Who is who? what is what?

Soil:
Messy
Invites Pests
Hard to control nutrient levels
If plants get nute burn it's MORE difficult to flush

Hydro:
Plant grows faster
Bigger Yield in less time
Less mess
Easier to properly feed nutrients at the right levels using meters.

But hey, if you like soil, go for it.

There are some issues with Hydro, for example, if you're a moron and don't watch your nutrient levels you can destroy your plants quickly, but it takes a lot of carelessness.

Thanks laserbrn. Is there anymore con's to growing hydro.

Disadvantage of a soil grow is in fact Soil and getting it to you grow room... with hydro least the main part is water which to a point is free if you not on a meeter

But if i had to choose id go with soil, its only messy if you make it

This wont stop me from trying hydro/coco in fact i have already started to buy parts for next year

cons of hydro:
-less pests but higher risk of mold
-easier/quicker to correct ph/nutes but mechanical failure can lead to quick death of plants, malfunctions like pump failure, reservoir leaks.

other not mentioned pros:
-low attention requirements. usually the only thing i have to do for my hydro setup is checking the water's ph/nutes and change the water every 2 weeks. other than that i literally just sit back and watch them grow.
