After growing outdoor and been limited to seasonal influences i have decided to give the indoor a punt.
I would like to hear from members who have tried both organic indoors and hydro indoors to find out their opinion on which produces the better yeild?
thanks in advance for your input :)
I currently have a MH 400 w for veg and a son-t agro 600 w for flowering.

Im kinda partial to bubbling buckets,Ive only ran chemical nutes tho,I hadnt tried organics yet.Ive been wrong before and someone feel free to correct me,but i dont think organic or hydro or both has much to do with quanity and all to do with quality.The strain you decide to run in either situation will be a more defining point to yeild then the way it was grown.If you surf the MJ boards you will find a ton of wifes tales on how to increase your yeilds,like neck breaking and tieing them down or scrog.I only run a 400 watt hps in flower with limited space and Ive found that it is much more efficeint for me to run scrog[screen of green].I like the scrog,it gives me the opportunity to touch every grow shoot every day.
Hydro requires more hands on and diffrent toys then soil,i cant comment on organic cause ive never grown that way.If you cant dedicate atleast an hour a day to your grow then hydro prolly isnt your answer.I would recommend atleast a 1/2 hour in the AM and a 1/2 hour in the PM.things change rapidly with hydro,what would take a day to see changes in soil will take about an hour in hydro.If your not there to monitor them changes your next vist might very well be to see a bunch of burnt up twigs.

Thanks for the reply midwestbluntman, i agree quality is always preferential over quantity, by "better yield" i was referring to both although i am aware of claims hydro can result in both which i why i posted , to find out more.
Time isnt a problem, maybe after i run this lot i will look to trying a hydro run. I am quite happy at what i achieved this time around with my organics but am always open to new ideas, i am here after all :)

"both organic indoors and hydro indoors" this is like asking the diff. between apples and oranges.
Maybe you meant the diff. between soil and hydro? or organic and chem nutes?
