So I have been wanting to get away from hydroton ever since I started using it, but I have always had good success so I've been a little hesitant. I looked and looked for coco croutons but the ones I wanted neeeded to be ordered so I said fuck it and bought a couple bags of botanicare readygrow aeration soiless organic mix. So here is what I have got going....
4 Shiskas in the Readygrow
3 Shiskas in hydroton (1 clone died after transplant so I went ahead and stuck a purple kush in there, its the smallest of all
All plants are in 3 gal smart pots (love 'em)
Right now they are sharing a flood tray and therefore they are receiving the same food at this point. I haven't had any problems with under or over watering which is cool. As you can see from one of the fan leaves my ph got a little too high on me. As soon as they go into flower they will no longer be sharing flood trays or nute rez's.
So as you can see from the pics the plants in the readygrow are growing incredibly fast. Their stocks are bigger at this point than any plant I have ever seen growing in hydroton. I'm fucking stoked to see the buds these put out because i was already having great results; imagine what these will do! I just wish all eight were in the readygrow now. Look at the difference in the size of the fan leaves; that the biggest fan leaf off of all of the hydroton plants and the readygrow plants are full of these huge photosynthesis powerhouses.

I've seen some examples of shiska that have really nice bluish purple swirl in the finished nuggets, was either last months HT or Skunk publications as you don't hear too much about shishkaberry anymore. You tend more to hear of it's recent cross....
