Hydroponics Vs Soil?

also, I don't understand all this "high maintenance" BS that I'm reading about hydro. It's a clean system. And simple. build your reservoir. Fill it up with your nutrient solution. Adjust the pH level. Put in your plant. Change nutes every 2 weeks. 10 weeks later, harvest. wash, rinse repeat. What the hell is so hard about that??? Also, it's a hell of a lot easier to get rid of water than it is to get rid of soil. Soil attract bugs, which is never good...or they even grow in soil...again, not good. And, building a DWC Hydro reservoir does not have to be expensive (read my previous post). I'll agree that nutes can cost a little bit, but in the long run it's acceptable. I use the lucas formula, so I only buy 2 bottles of nutes about every 2 months. The total cost for both is $60. $60 every 2 months for nutes is totally acceptable to me...and should be to any grower.

To each their own, of course. But I honestly think that in the long run most people will be happier with a hydro system. especially a DWC Hydro system. :-) Here's a couple pics of my plants just to show off a bit, heheheh.

I use soil and Harvest 70 zips a crop and thats only 36 plants under 4/ 1000 watt lights. thats every 7 weeks. its all about your strain and how much work your willing to put in. yeah watering by hand sucks but if your not lazy I think it is the way to go.

you're able to veg and flower 36 plants in 7 weeks (from clones I assume) and get 70 zips??? That's the FASTEST veg/flower times I've ever heard of.

I mean, I can veg for 2 weeks in hydro and my plants are plenty big enough to flower, but it's still another 8 weeks at THE LEAST before they're done flowering...

and I'm not even adding in cloning time (usually 10 to 12 days for me).

You my friend must have one amazing strain/grow room to produce so much weed in such a record time...
