I like both. Organic is more laid back and relaxed. Hydro, they get HUGE fast, but it's stressful. It's cool to watch the growth rate though.
Someone did hydro in this room last year before for their first run. I really feel bad, it looks like they got a horrible gnat infestation that somehow managed to survive the flood tables being dry for a year and have now gotten into this soil grow. Ahhh gotta love the tenacity of nature.
They left the 100 gallon res full and it got gross. That sucked to clean up, it was there for almost a year and I guess the gnats never died.
I had all the equipment to do up to 40 plants with hydro but I figured it’s my first time I did not want to do that to myself. I decided on 20 in 5 gal pots instead
