I'm sure this has been asked 100's of time... if there that much of a difference other than the person growing has a difference preference on how they want to grow. is the end product better, finisher faster, take less time? I was thinking of experimenting with one bubble bucket but it looked like allot of extra information I'm going to have to learn. Is is really worth the extra effort over good old soil?
The biggest difference between hydroponics and soil growing is you can grow the same sized plant/yield with far less growing medium when using hydroponics than you can with soil. Smaller containers = more yield in limited space. Both ways can produce fantastic cannabis and it's often a measure of preference. Having done both however, I find that indoors I get better results from hydroponics. I leave soil growing for outside.
