Hope you know I wasn't trying to hijack your thread or start anything. I would definitely say explore other grow mediums but until you get the hang of them go dirt. Dirt is by far one of the more forgiving mediums. You def can get amazing results with other mediums like Coco but until you know it results are blah. Just grow a few in dirt and take some clones to learn Coco with. Stick around, ignore the bullshit and we'll all be following you soon enough.
