Hydro vs. Organic - marijuana seeds growing

Advanced topic of growing marijuana seeds, Hydro vs. Organic . Use quality cannabis seeds genetics for 90% germination rate, stable vigorous cannabis plants and potent yields according to cannabis seeds strain specification. The quality of the marijuana seeds strain genetics determine 90% of your expected yield amount and potency.

Getting started: Choosing your first system: Hydro vs. Organic

I have to respectfully disagree that hydroponics will yield higher than organics. There is a difference between growth rate and the yield. Because something grows faster does not mean it yields more in the same space. If you factor in time for veg growth, hydroponics will have the edge in yield. If you have a separate veg area, that timing issue is irrelevant.

Having greater aromatics is a matter of opinion and relative to growing skill and methods. When done correctly, organics (organic nutrients, soilless mixes) produce buds that smell just as strong as those grown hydroponically. I will concede that hydro-grown plants do have a slightly faster growth rate, but to solidly state that they yield more overall, I believe is misleading.

The reason that I switched to organics was because I didn't see enough difference in either growth or anything else to warrant the need for so much monitoring and expensive meters and nutrients. I think that the only provable plus to hydroponics is growth rate.Whereas the cons are chemical aftertaste in the flavour of buds, extreme susceptibility to over/under fertilization, very high initial investment, many things to break and clog, etc.

If grown in a nice airy organic soil mix and watered with good organic amendments, growth enhancers and beneficial fungi (mycorrhizae), you will easily compete with that of a hydroponic system. Your end result will be full flavored, non-chemical tasting buds. They can be arguably, slightly more potent due to the fact that, as of now, science cannot compete with Mother Nature and naturally occurring elements.

Bottom line - unless you are obsessed with fittings, toys and technology (and many are) organics can grow nearly as fast, just as big (if not bigger), better tasting and IMHO more potent buds. And they do this with very little initial investment, and are very forgiving of newbie mistakes.

Before you decide to buy cannabis seeds, make sure expected high stone effect will match your personal preferences. Choose sativa cannabis seeds strain for celebral, active and creative high, buy indica marijuana seeds strain for relaxing body stone and pain relieve or sativa/indica hybrid for mixed high stone effect.
