Soil Beats Hydro For Beginners
Quote from justicebzwiegandjlz832 on September 21, 2026, 11:24 amHydro setups grow CBD plants fast, but the margin for error is thin and a pH swing or pump failure can cost a whole crop in a day. Living soil is slower and yields a little less, yet it forgives missed feeds and tends to give a fuller terpene profile. Side by side runs of the same CBD strain in coco, soil and deep water culture are documented on https://calmcbdseeds.com with final test numbers for each. For a first pack of expensive seeds, soil is the lower risk route.
