Bud Taste of hydro vs soil

[gvega187]

I think water is better but soil taste better.

can anyone prove this statement to be correct? I am really getting tired of it, don't believe it and never did. I have tasted hydro bud with nutes like floranova and it tastes great. I have tasted soil buds and no phenomenal awesome dirt taste occurs. Does it make sense to anyone why dirt buds would taste better? Seems like hydro buds would actually be able to obtain a cleaner and tastier smoke, since u can flush extremely hard for the last week or two.

I think the basis for that "soil makes better tasting bud" opinion can be true depending on how the hydro plants are grown. Growing hydro using chemical salts only, there may be less secondary metabolic processes than when growing in soil. Those secondary processes are where the terpenes and flavonoids and ketones are developed, and those are what gives bud it's aroma and flavor.

Nowadays, complete hydro nutes like FloraNova, which include humics and kelp and organic supplements aid those secondary processes and hydro bud can be just as tasty.

pshhh, who would flush for two weeks?

 

[Dirtyboy]

Its all about rinseing the nutes out. They will be the same if ya get a good flush.

I use Clearex for 24 hours and then straight water for 10-14 days.

But then again I'm still a noob. I've only been growing for 14 years

i was just kidding about the flush thing. i have a real question though. the three part fox farm additives for flowering, the last one, i believe is cha-ching and it instructs you to use till the very end, is this meant to be included while flushing?

 

[homerdog]

take a closer look a lot of those are just molasses that you are paying too much for, and from my limited experience the molasses doesn't hurt to include in your flush

so dry fox farm 3 part additives are made of molasses eh? I suppose hygrozyme is made of zombie piss and fermented kool-aid?

figured that was a waste of money, just gonna pour molasses into the aero next time round. just got an underwater light for the rez too, that shit looks hot!

 

[Pidgeon]

wait..why would you want a light in your rez? Wouldn't that increase heat and bacteria growth? Also, I am not sure you would want to put Molasses into your rez, that is more of a soil thing. I have heard that it increases harmful bacteria and could cause rootrot. I have no experience with Molasses tho, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

 

[dankiestdank]

Pidgeons scare me.

 

[Bushido Boy]

Molasses???....Geez, who woulda thought...but sweeet!! (he he pun intended)

But then again...Look at PH up and PH down or any ph adjuster.... Most of them are Lye and Suphuric Acid (Pool Acid)

 

[Pidgeon]

Pidgeons scare me.

Don't be scared. All we want are bread crumbs and things to shit on.

 

[Jungleman]

Soil my friend!!In soil plant show you full nature!Hydro is not bad but soil is soil.Hydro taste different!

 

[dankiestdank]

Don't shit on my plants and we're cool.

hell yeah, I ordered a $400 heater for my res today. Should keep my waters at 80 minimum. I got some street glow for my res. 2. It puts of enough heats to bump me up to a healthy 78 Degree in my hydro tank rite now.

joo guys give me mad rep for my glow once i take pictures of it.

thinkin' about getting molasses today annd adding at least .5 liter/gal.

john q sent me some germinated clones and i got them on friday. ( thanks) They has routs that is blue and black so they looks healthy until i can put them into my res.

also adding mylar to the bottom of my res. today as per john q's request. He says my waters is not getting enough lumins.

added 3 trout to my res. this morning. Should help increase my buds flavors cuz of tha poop etc. ph=5.2 my fish alrite?
