Hello I was wondering what people really think. What grow type is better. I have been growing in dirt for quite a few years now. And i am real skeptical about going to hydro. I have 3 rooms at the moment. 2 for bud and 1 for veg. In my 2 flowering rooms I use twenty 1000 Watt Hortilux Super Blue bulbs under Premium SunSystem Harvest Pro ballasts. I do not use a co2 burner or co2 tanks. I keep it old school if i need co2 i use sugar and yeast in my rooms, only if needed. I live in a very secluded location so i do not use any type of filter. Besides i love the smell. My rooms have plenty of ventilation. And i keep my room at a temp between 75-79 never under never over. My rooms are on a very strict time schedule. 2 water 1 fertilizer every 2 days or so. I have a moisture meter that i use to make sure i never over water and i test the ph balance and the ppm daily. To make sure my baby's are the best they can be. I also rotate my plants a quarter turn every other day. My grow rooms are all in old concrete and brick buildings behind my house. I use 7 gallon containers and i also use 2x4x8 and ply wood to keep the roots off the cold floor. I usually get between 6 to 7 ounces a plant dry. I am disabled so i have all the time in the world because i do not work. I know the old saying is if it's not broke do not try to fix it. But when i am told i could do better with hydro i am inclined to at least get some feed back. I have the time i have the money and i have the space. I have 8 different strains that i have had for over 5 years. Three of them take in top dollar and the dispensary i supply to. But im not sure how they would do in a hydro set up. So any hydro guys out there let me know Hydro or dirt????
... so if i don't like how it goes - i'll deffinitely be moving on to some type of hydro setup. whether it be drip, ebb, dwc, nft, aero, fog, who knows...
