Hi Sub,
First, I wanted to compliment you on your strains and success. You are clearly the new school of cannabis breeders, and your strains clearly show that! Please keep up the good work sir!
Another RIU member asked a question of you about soil vs. hydro, in which you answered that the plant does not know any difference. Yet I continue to see people pushing soil and organics nutrients as the elite growing style, citing better flavors.
So, whats the real scoop? I am growing hydro, and have a run of Querkle in flower that should be ready in about 4 weeks. I use GH, following the Lucas formula for flower (0-8-16, 1300 ppm in RO water). The plants are beautiful, lush and healthy. My question is, providing both methods are fully flushed, is there ANY benefit in growing in soil, especially in terms of flavor?
BTW, I can apparently buy seeds faster than I can grow them. I have an extensive collection of TGA seeds, including Querkle (my first TGA grow), JTR, Qleaner, JC II, Agent Orange, Jilly Bean, Vortex, Apollo-13 BX, and Space Queen (Space Jill), as well as many other seeds from other breeders. While I currently grow using hydroponics because its relatively easy (I heard it called growing by numbers!), I also want to get the very best flavor and smoking experience possible. Do I need to change to soil to get that experience, or has the difference in flavors between the two methods been exaggerated?
Thank you in advance for your response!
