Not at all. Soil is way easier. There's no buffers in Hydro so you need to stay fairly accurate with ppm's. Constantly have to watch water temps & pH. Bucket or Res changes often, etc. Way more work. It's definitely a good way to grow if you can't stay out of your grow room.Lol I edited it and added a good pic that explains. I find soil sounds like more work to me...
Please do interrupt! I'm doing a terrible job explaining!
But if you just want a simple easy grow & you're kind of lazy like me .... I'd recommend soil.
Soil is pretty much feed & forget it. Only have to feed every few days & really don't need to pH.
