Growing mediums for hydroponics & soil by Grodan

Choosing the right type of growth medium to grow cannabis can either by opting for soil based or hydroponic based cultivation methods. Soil based methods contain natural organic nutrients, and produce healthy, organic plants that take longer to grow, but their leaves tend to have more flavour.

A solid based grow medium will require you to regularly add fertilisers during the plant's entire growth cycle. These include basic fertilisers, peat and blood or bone meal. This medium is usually cheaper than other varieties and is easier to apply. The hydroponic based mediums include rockwool, clay pellets and others. They give you a greater choice and are preferred by more skilled cannabis growers.
