If you like the taste of dirt...grow in soil. Having done both I can say they do taste different and I prefer hydro.
You must like the earthy flavor...
Wrong, wrong, and.... wrong. So sorry charlie. You're speaketh with bullshit tongue.Its alot easier to keep an indoor environment clean and free of bugs when its not full of dirt.
I would not be using nutrient solutions but rather using the soil food web and possible compost teas for irrigation. I guess no it is not a hydro hybrid technically.. I have tasted bud grown in soild an hydro that were both great but i feel that hydro is in fact harder to get right and is just not for me atm, each to their own though! The taste of dirt.. that's just silly... do your vegetables from your garden taste like dirt? nope lolWhat is soil/hydro hybrid? The definition of hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture, the method of growing plants without soil, using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent.
So what you are talking about is just SOIL + irigation with nutrient solution...
You must be a noviceYou must like the earthy flavor...
Its not bullshit...These soil comments are not simply wrong, they're ignorant. Taste of dirt? Everyone knows that complete bullshit - jesus man.
Less pesticides and fungicides? Maybe if you're not growing in real soil. Otherwise you have billions upon billions of helpers
That's not natural soilBut for natural soil you have to have about 1 gallon soil/ month of bloom/ plant. \
You're writing fiction. Look at any weed forum dude. It's been a convo since before you grew teeth. Everyone knows soil tastes better. You're commentary simply shows you are a newb.Its not bullshit...
Peoples tastes are obviously very different...so why argue about it?
Sure but you get all the benefits I listed and you get hydro results without all the hydro workWhat is soil/hydro hybrid? The definition of hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture, the method of growing plants without soil, using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent.

Grow a tomato in soil...then grow a tomato in hydro..eat them and then come back and describe the difference in flavour.I would not be using nutrient solutions but rather using the soil food web and possible compost teas for irrigation.

You don't get any of benefits of hydro...Sure but you get all the benefits I listed and you get hydro results without all the hydro work
I used to spend countless hours filling and draining gallons upon gallons in reservoir , pH IMG water checking tdds having to keep a res cool make sure timers were right and on and on I found it to be tiresome and time consuming with a sip you don't do any of thatYou don't get any of benefits of hydro...
There is no hard work in hydro only expensive start.
Okay I believe this are the key concepts we all can agree upon:
a) it's harder to do hydro right than do soil right
b) plants in hydro can thrive better than soil (if all factors are good) and they spend less energy/time to dig nutrients vs soil so they can yield more and grow larger in same time
c) plants eat inorganic matter not organic so all you organic growers - i suppose you know that you need some bacteria or other microbes to convert your ogranic fertilizer to inorganic form...
