5x6 closet 1000watt hps back to the basics, in dirt again

I been doing hydro for quite a while started in soil a little more knowledgeable now better nutes better lights and better results. Ready to compare yield first hand hydroponics and non hydro.
NUTES: Holland Secret micro gro bloom and cali magic. Hydro nutes that u can use in dirt.
LIGHTING: 1000 watt galaxy gro amp 1100 boosted watts. Hydro farm reflector with glass removed not air cooled.
CLIMATE CONTROL: 1000 btu lg portable ducted into attic. Temps staying at 78 daytime. Not sure at night. 3 fans 2 oscillating and 1 box fan. Air is moving.
Now 24 days into this grow and here is what i have... Oh forgot most important part... Strains
STRAINS: Northern lights X Chronic midweeksong freebie from spanish seeds and midweeksong

Started on the first and the first pix were 22nd and these are just now. I see the buds but not very big if u asked me. I think my hydro setup is going to kill this soil run.

What "dirt" are you using?

The only time we see hydro results in soil is using a sip

Sub irrigation huh. Dont really see how getting more 02 to the root that way but would having your pot in a dish of some kind and instead of pouring on the top soil just fill the dish up with water? Def interesting.

Up close and personal with nl X chronic

What exactly do u mean hydro results? Per plant ? Per sq meter? Per watt?

Day 27 starting to look like weed.

Soil not as cool or fun as hydro.

if your plant grows big and fast in hydro, it will grow big and fast in a soil filled sip,, everyone useing sips here on RIU are getting hydro yields and hydro speed, not sure how much simple to say it really

here is a link to a thread here on RIU where a guy you used to grow hydro is out doing his old hydro results by using soil filled sips
