:smokebuds:Thats a good question. Ithink soil is the best but some growers that have mastered hydro have grown some super plants.I think soil is easier to grow than hydro but they both have ther own unigue problems.Ithink the only way to find out is try both and decide for yourself.In nature you never see many plants growing in water and never mj,so I tend to follow the way that mj naturaly grows in soil.

Any type of promix should be good or a good organic mix from your grow store like roots organic or fox farm .

Hi
Hydroponic is expensive and difficult to use it in right way to get good results.
I think only experts should use hydro.
A very good quality mostly or 100% peat-based universal substrate in a big plant container with good solid and liquid organic nutrients are the best things for most people, I think, outdoor or indoor !
When I say good quality substrate : a bag of well known compagnies that you buy in a nursery, never at your food store ! For example here in Belgium : 7-8€ for 70 liters of a very good product.
No matter if the substrate is black or not : many excellent peat substrates are dark or light brown.
I studied agronomy and I'm horticulturist...

I have grown hydro wise n the past i just had problems with my past grow im going to be starting a grow log with this grow as a matter of fact does any suggest putting the bean n a clone box b4 putting into my Dwc. bucket

I would say that AF's do well in a semi-soilless mix like Sunshine #4 advanced or ProMix. You can let them germ/start in the base nutes those mixes come with, then slowly add ferts as-req. while they mature.
