my first ever successful grow i had 1 hydro and 1 dirt plant from the same bagseed and i found the hydro was easier to grow, grew faster and could take much more nute/stress, where as the dirt plant i had trouble with in the beginning with feeding, but in the end the dirts smell/taste and color(purple)came out alot more in the dirt plant vs the hydro. so id say they both have their pros and cons
also the yeild od the dro was only slightly higher, got about 3/4 of an ounce of the dirt and an oounce off the hydro
