    Should I switch from soil to coco/perlite?

    Hey guys, I'm an organic soil grower, and my room is probably too warm for Hydroponics, but I've been reading that growing in coco produces more yield in less time. Please can anyone give me a heads up? My room is fairly zeroed, and daily feeds would be fine, if necessary. Cheers.
