Howdy folks!

From all that I've read and all I'm experiencing with my first try (using soil) it appears that my original opinion of 'Hydro is harder than soil' is incorrect. Most problems are from over fert, soil with nutes included, over watering, etc.

Is my understanding of hydro that these problems never arise unless the grower just plain messes up?

At first my thoughts were hydro seemed a mess with tubes, pumps, trashcans full of water, etc. Virtually impossible to create a stealth setup with these kinds of items. I just thought hey, for my first attempt I'll stick with soil to make sure I can do it. Now I'm wondering if I hurt myself by making this choice - it almost looks like I should throw everything away and go out and buy hydro equipment because once it's setup it's actually much MUCH easier to grow with.

Am I right in that assumption? If so, I may just run down to the hydro store and ask the guys to set me up.... and put the soil where it belongs, the back yard.
