it all comes down to your definition of better....hydro is faster soil is more forgiving

i also have a flood and drain table..love it. at first it takes alot of ur time, because like u said in a few hrs they could die if u dont know what ur doing. but once u have it set up u check it every 2-3 days as long as everything is stable. easy smoke...and it is kinda cool when u hand someone a bag and u can tell them it is hydro. even if its not any better to say its hydro adds some unknown value

Grow it the way it`s meant to be grown....Hydro tasts like shit and is for people that want to make money fast. rappers are makin ryums.only true growers use dirt. the rest just don`t care. It`s all for the money. just my opion.... peace....

Ya..its not for everyone. and i have never had anyone say it tasted bad, if it did i dont think anyone would use it.

Surely the taste will be the same hydro or dirt, cause its just a medium. its not the soil the plant uptakes it the nutes and air and water, the soil is just there to hold the roots really. or am I way off?
ah,,do you not flush a plant in hydro? as in remove nutes from the resivior and its just water?
Im just confused as to how the taste would be any different.......

Please check out my growjournal. I am doing a side by side comparising with 1 hydro and 1 dirt grow with the same conditions otherwise... Check my sig for the link. In my opinion soil tastes better and hydro yields better.
