I love hydro, it's simple and effective.

Now that I'm getting a bit better at it, it is rather very simple and the growth is faster than soil. Hopefully I can get good at both though, grew up on good old soil grows and would love to grow some of my own fire in soil.
Just need the right soil mix to start, talk to Bob Brown he does organic soils.

I start my seedlings in coco then clean up the roots and transfer to Rdwc they actually do really well. No shock but they start slow until roots hit the res water in the bucket.

If you've ever visited thc farmer there is a user on their by the name of Ledsled. Super helpful regarding building soils. Most of my fine tuning of my mix was with their help.

Well I have a shit ton of reading to do now thanks, that guys has good info on so many things
For my soil build I'l need to aim for something that is good for indoor led grows. The LED seems to chow quite a bit calmag. I also need to source a farm feed store of sorts. Dont have any dedicated garden stores so some things like the fishmeal and seedmeal but for the seed meal I've been saving bag seeds for awhile now, even buying the cheap stuff for more seeds and was going to try grind that up for seed meal.
Talk to Bob Brown14, he should be able to start you out on the right track when it comes to soil.

mmm...couldn't find that username on here
Got some security in to keep an eye on the plants:
DWC seedlings still going crazy, pretty blown away by their growth. Best run yet with dwc seedlings so I'm happy this setup is working so far. Going to still be tricky putting them into larger net pots with all the root mass they are making.
soil plants, can't see properly in this light by they are a very healthy looking green.
I use hydroton pebbles makes transferring to larger net pots a breeze.

That was my plan, how do you put the roots in? Bit by bit or do you just twirl them into a hole?

Grow update:
It's been 1 month now since the 1st seed came up so just doing a rundown of the plants.
The 1st seed to show some leaf, started strong but got over watered at 1st but bounced back. Happy now but not as far along as it could be plus the leaves seem somewhat small. Most of the soil plants have this "issue"
The runt of the 1st batch. It's picking up steam now so I'l see if it gets going.
This is from the 2nd batch of seeds and is only on 20 days old. Was popped on the moon cycle and is on par with the older plants.
This just recently bounced back from being pretty sad also close to a month.
There is one more doing ok, didnt get a photo it seems.
Month old Cuvee.... yeah it was doing pretty much nothing until a few days ago so will keep an eye on it.
One of the late bloomers, closer to the full moon. Doing pretty well, with an odd variegated leaf...or damaged leaf
RuntymacRuntface this looks to be the 1st casuality
Another of the late bloomers and the biggest plant in soil at the moment
Late bloomer but also runty
RWDC Loco cookies on day 18, super happy and growing
Cuvee in RDWC, going to transplant it into soil soon. Not brave enough to run 2 different strains in the dwc

Overall not too bad, some watering mistakes from my side and some pesky gnats slowed things on the soil side but hopefully they pick. Just trying to battle the heat now.

Transplanted the Cuvee seedling from the dwc into soil yesterday. Expected to see a slightly sad plant as it made the transition but it's hardly skipped a beat. I might just do more seedlings like this.

Thanks and mine is kinda special, It's f1's and f2's plus crosses from an awesome grower here called Sun Valley. He does some crazy good organic grows, mostly outside and greenhouse.

Grow update:
Went ahead and did my 1st topping on the 2 locos in the dwc and the Cuvee in soil. Ran into a problem with the dwc though, the roots of the 2 locos got entangled practically overnight so it's surgery sessions again to separate them. At least I'l know for next time to watch out for that. Will attempt it tomorrow or the next day, can't top them and mess up roots.
Transplanted the smaller from the dwc into soil:
rest of the garden:
Figured out why this one was a runt, spiral stem going down
And the room is almost ready to go:

Sweet room! Should be fine when you separate the roots just cut as little as possible.

Was hoping to cut nothing...I'm staring to sweat all ready.
