A plant's finishing time varies on medium?

no i'm not saying that at all! the roots grow faster, look at how big my plant grew in 35 days veg, you just cant do that with soil, i have seen it with my own eyes, helped many people out, i can't ever imagine growing a hydro plant in soil, vegging it for only 35 days, and getting anywhere near 1 lb, thats why i say faster, i need immediate fast growth, soil can't do that, and please please if somebody says it can, show me, show everyone, cause i just can't see the logic in that

only reason i'll refuse to work with soil indoors is 80% chance of bugs, the more and more soil growers i see, nearly all of them have bug issues, mites/thrips, broad mites u name it, all soil, that is where they come from. Hydroponics is supposed to be clean, i say keep soil outside, if u wanna use it grow outdoors! hydroponics is about a controlled environment, and i just cant see a point in risking for bugs, when i see around an 80% rate of soil growers having bug issues. it just doesnt make sense to me. i have had soil/hydro /aero/aqua erbs, and it all comes down to how well the erb is grown, and picked at the right time and dried properly.

in saying that. i love all erb grown all ways. i just like to keep it more simple, clean, and controlled :) and yes organics sounds great, but does it get u any more high? is the end product really any safer to smoke? this needs to be tested properly. i thought the whole idea of hydroponics was to cheat mother nature. not mimic

i grow 100% perlite, and have a mate who grows organically the same strain, i go my perlite over the organic, it seems to have more smell, flavour and a stronger hit, but then again he doesn't grow like me, each to their own, i love the idea how hes trying to be more natural, but i think i'm even steering him toward perlite, he just cant get a big yield in the time frame that i can.

one day i may try organics, maybe an aquaponics fish farm, but for now in my young days, i'm keeping it simple, clean, and hopefully less bugs :)

I like the way pot tastes when grown in soil. I have tried ebb and flow hydro and clay pebble hydro and was never pleased with the quality. I had some Giant buds but they tasted like crap compared to my soil crops. I don't grow for quantity I grow for quality.As for bugs they are easily controlled as long as you keep it clean and pay attention to the plants needs.

Just my personal preference.

edit: aquaponic fish farm would be awesome.

I'm starting to find out what a snob I'm getting to be when it comes to smells and flavors, as well as highs. I've never done hydro and can't speak for that. Not that I've never smoked hydro weed, I just wouldn't have known, just never grew that way. I respect your choice, sorry for coming on like that.

I remember cof asking a question a long, long time ago, whether taste and smell was just as important as high, and I was pretty new then so couldn't say. It's gotten much more important since then. I've had some strains that were great highs but I really didn't enjoy smoking them. I love when I get a good taster that lingers for a while.

I veg 20 plants for 14 days, bloom for 8 weeks in a 6x6x6 tent and clear 1.5lb+ every time. I only have 12 this round but I will still clear a lb. Little bitches just spread out farther.

there are some strains that can get you absolutely smashed but aren't 'meant' to taste nice anyway! after all it is a weed ;)

no foul played man, ohhh and worm, i have a mate who grows aquaponics fish farms, he has a blast, hes a fisherman dude, so he loves his fish aswell, this dude has fuckin swimming pool in his master bedroom :) and massive fish, but medium size grow, average yielding, organic ofcourse and amazingly uses hydroton and perlite, very hard to get your head around, has bio-filters and the works, its an extreme setup to say the least, not something you show alot of people, fairly hard to manage, and can have massive problems if you aren't around to monitor things. he grows the same strain as me, and gets the closest to what i can grow that i have seen, he gets stubby short colas, all spread out on a table, of about 50 clones i think, maybe less, they all flower straight away, under 2 x 1000 watters in 1 bedroom, he gets just under 1 lb with this setup, but no popcorn nugs, its all just fat heads, it looks very VERY impressive, no photos aloud :( sorry bud flavour seems to be the same as mine, the strain itself isnt that tasty, its just real hashy, so hard to explain a flavour, but comparison shows they are nearly on par with quality and taste, his being slightly more consistent, being on a flat table

edit : i'm starting to wonder if the taste simply comes down to the 'strain' mostly as long as you haven't over dosed her on nutes or something!! as long as they get good clean food in my opinion, with the obvious weather variables ofcourse

ggg 007.jpgkeep soil outside?how bout keeping plants in soil?
i like hydro,for the fast growth it gives,in the same time frame,but the taste i get from soil/soilless mix,is what I want.
bug are all over,just keep it clean.
and a strain that has no taste/bland smell,gets no play in my book,IMO.

Lol I know right!:weed: I cant wait!!
I did a pre-trim and hung em up. Ill trim more in a few days, then when dry finish em. I cant do too much at once my shoulder back and hands are all shit these days.

I need a new pair of scissors, or to sharpen one of the sets I have. They are sucky right now.

Doesn't mean it doesn't smell great!, and in saying it doesn't taste great, i'm just kinda sick of it, been 3 years now that's all, hard to find a solid strain, my next is a jack/skunk x will be a show and half :)

3 years and 1 strain? I would go absolutely bananas.

I think hydro vs soil is like Kraft macaroni and cheese vs homemade stuff mom and/or wife makes. One is faster and much more convenient and the other tastes so fuckin good.

That being said, I personally like kraft better than homemade and have only grown in hydro. But I'm switching to soil soon.

And I hear you on going crazy growing one strain. I can't grow a strain two grows in a row. Too boring. Although I am running DOG and Banana for a second go. They are both worth a second run.

Nice work Bassman!!! Lookin good G.
