When most people think of growing marijuana hydroponically, they think of growing their plants with their roots suspended directly into water with absolutely no growing medium. However, this is only one type of hydroponic growing. There are several variations including growing your plant in a soilless medium such as perlite/coco coir and then watering your plants every day, which is not very different from growing in soil.The debate over cannabis growing mediums is not likely to end soon. With all the information available, it can be hard to make this decision regarding your own grow-op. We're here to help you choose!With the continuous momentum of cannabis legalization, a lot of people are starting to take a swing at growing cannabis. Smoking your own home-grown bud is one of the most gratifying experiences a stoner can have. But when starting out, most people don't know where to begin. In this article, we'll be covering hydroponic vs soil-based growing operations. This will help the inexperienced and even the experienced grower decide on the correct medium for their next grow.In 2017, when we talk about soil vs hydro plantations, we're usually referring to indoor vs outdoor growing. This is because indoor mediums are rarely 100% soil. People tend to use substrates like coco coir and rockwool, which are soilless mixtures. Most fully-soil operations out there will be found in outdoor plantations. The advantage to growing hydroponically is that you deliver all the nutrients the plant needs right to its roots. In soil, the roots have to seek out and extract all nutrients, but with hydroponics, you take the work out of finding nutrients so the plant can focus more of its energy on growing bid and making flowers/buds. Therefore you will end up with much faster growth and higher yields than if you grew your marijuana plants in soil.Hydoponics can be very simple or very complex, depending on your set-up. I recommend with starting with a method that's on the simple side, and then trying a more complex method once you have a little experience under your belt.
