HYDROPONIC CONs:
- expensive to maintain (even self-maintaining hydroponic systems like continuous drip still need to be tested and adjusted frequently, unless you have years of experience, and they tend to be more prone to plant problems because of neglect).
- Until you have a good system and proven formula down, you have to constantly adjust nutrient solution levels to your plants' needs. LOTS OF EFFORT HERE! I'm not kidding! Not for beginners.
Im not the most experienced grower,but both methods require a good system and/or proven formula, nutrients ,and ph testing atleast every few days. Using a hydroponic system each plant is watered by the same water... so u only have to do one ph test, where if u have 50 plants in 50 pots growing in soil u would need to do 50 ph tests every few days... make sense?
