Hydroponics is the art of growing plants without soil. When most people think of growing marijuana hydroponically, they think of growing their plants with their roots suspended directly in water with absolutely no growing medium. However, this is only one type of hydroponic growing. There are several variations including growing your plant in a soilless medium such as perlite/coco coir and then watering your plants every day, which is not very different from growing in soil.

The advantage to growing hydroponically is that you deliver all the nutrients the plant needs right to its roots. In soil, the roots have to seek out and extract all nutrients, but with hydroponics, you take the work out of finding nutrients so the plant can focus more of its energy on growing big and making flowers/buds. Therefore you will end up with much faster growth and higher yields than if you grow your marijuana plants in soil.
Hydroponics can be simple or complex depending on your setup. I recommend starting with a method that’s on the simple side, and then trying a more complex method once you have a little experience under your belt.
