I know the taste usually suffers when pots grown hydro, how bout the smell? Is the odor more the same or less than that grown in soil? Only planning on doing 2-3 plants in DWC bubble buckets from ebay: http://flaturl.com/zUm
Those bubblers are cheap man, nice find. No, both soil and hydro would have the same level of odor as eachother. Hydro would have more humidity (unless you have a dehumidifier), so a carbon filter will need to be changed around every 6 months.
