Coconut coir or soil? for quantity and Qaulity results

Would you use soil to get a faster and more bulky Qaulity harvest or would you go with coco coir get those results ?

Go with coco coir if you want a faster harvest, plants do grow much more quickly in coco than soil.

Coco should get you 10 to 15% more yield. Some people argue that the smell.might be better with soil but I don't see that. I love coco... but remember it's hydroponics..m you need to learn how to do it

Not potency but soil will give you better flavor if you grow organically.

If you smoked one grown and soil and one grown in coco and didn't know which, you wouldn't be able to tell which was which by taste.

I said 'organically' dummy, big difference between growing in soil with chemical nutes and growing in soil using organics.

Even Jorge Cervantes in his ultimate grow DVD admits organic herb tastes better.

Ok... "organically". You wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two. Ok I get it now... Jorge Cervantes said it, so it's definitely true. My bad.

Different strokes.

I would and now do use organic soil medium, with coco in it also. done hydro in coco in the past with good results. organic food is far superior, only makes sense the same goes for weed, from my experience it is. imo

never noticed plants being harvested faster in either,

actually though, kinda over buying anything and i have to buy coco. pretty sure i can go outside and find everything needed to grow a plant

edit, dont be sad little friend

I've never had good quality soil grown weed, but I don't live in a legal place. Lots of BioBizz and GHE garbage. I only vape my weed so it's never harsh though.

As someone who grows organically outdoors and with coco/mineral salts indoors, I can honestly say there is no difference in "quality" or "flavor." I think this myth popped up due to inconsistent drying/curing methods. Ever hear the one about mineral salts causing "crackling" or "popping" when you smoke it? Or the "white" vs "black" ash thing? Yeah....all down to drying and curing.

But cerventes and uncle fester say differently

Imo quality and quantity are two different things to all but highly experienced growers. If your not I’d suggest picking what your going for first.

I make canna caps out of my weed, so I don't give a shit about taste or harshness of the plant material.

I have tried coco and organics and I definitely taste a difference but only when I vape the bud.

With smoking you are inhaling so much crap that it will hide the true taste of the herb.
