Pro's and Con's to both. If you are looking for a continual harvest or commercial type OP go hydro. If you are growing for personal needs and don't have much experience go dirt.

With all due respect Screwnuts, it's soil.
Dirt is a whole different beast.

I agree. Hydro requires an investment in testing equipment and pumps beyond what you need for soil and is more expensive to start. However, with hydro the plants grow quicker and you can get more crops per year. Many hydro people I know can grow very large plants and the yields are outstanding and the bud divine! The difference between yields using hydro vs soil inside are minimal. What do you feel comfortable with? What's your grow area like?

Which is better depends almost entirely on your goals as a grower and your budget. Hydro is faster and typically produces heavier yeilds (unless ur lucky or a soil god/guru). Soil tends to be a little more forgiving and is probably easier to start and learn as a new grower. My 2 cents.

I think soil can be difficult to manage. I say Deep Water Culture, its easy, relatively cheap, and plants grow like crazy.
