hydro in soil

[strawboss1]

can you grow hydro in soil

 

[jabkiller]

It wont be considered hydroponics, but you can apply hydroponics techniques with soil

 

[RawBudzski]

Well technically you can if you bury your DWC res in the ground

 

[Phillip J Fry]

define hydro? You can't grow hydroponically in dirt obv, but growing in dirt might produce some dank (hydro).

 

[MrGhettoGrower]

Hydro defined~plant gets all it nutrients from a solution/water without soil!

I use hydro nutes in a soil-less mix, but I do not have any pumps or reservoirs, just 5 gallon buckets with soil-less mix. Works great.

 

[doser]

short answer in my opinion.........NO
soil has nutes and should have nutes
Hydro is supplying all the needs with liquid nutes
use the same methods on the wrong media and you either drown or fry your plant
it may be just semantics but I say no

 

[RawBudzski]

Why are you all discouraging the man.. Dig a hole.

I do the same. Doesn't matter the delivery system. It is more of the process of how you feed the plant.
not saying one is better or worse even though I obviously have an opinion and made my choice accordingly but by definition then no

 

[RawBudzski]

I am restricted to Soil due to having to move my plants 5-10 feet per day.

Honestly, I for one am not discouraging anyone. just defining the term imho.
In fact next year I have plans to do just that so as to grow one or twenty of those monsters that you cannot grow in a fiver.
Kinda late in the year though, No?

Sorry RB but I have no idea what you're talking about. What does soil have to do with moving a plant?

 

[doser]

I could easily plan a hydro system outdoors fully portable. What's the prob?

 

[RawBudzski]

A plant yes.. not my plants.. View attachment 1742381 IMPOSSIBLE to move in a hydro setup.

Those are some fat little buds ya got going there.

 

[RawBudzski]

[doser]

Yeah, you're smilin all right!! I can see the sun glinting off those pearly whites from way up here in my own private Idaho.

 

[a mongo frog]

anwser, yes its considered hydro when you are feeding in a soilless mix. rockwool, hydroton,cooco,sunshine mix#4, pro mix soilless. all considered hydro.

I don't know hempy buckets so take this with a grain of salt but AGAIN!! HYDRO is a soiless medium. anything But soil,or dirt . the stuff that gets your hands dirty. It has nothing to do with the container. It's not more complicated than that.
