I get that, but I can’t tell the difference in the high between the same clone grown in organic water-only soil and the same clone grown in hydro. I just know the dominant terpene is reversed between the two in my testing, and I get more yield and better looking buds with hydro than I do in soil. Perhaps the smells are a little more complex in the soil clone, but nothing that ive seen affect the high.
So with my current knowledge and experience, I currently don’t see the point in soil. Much less any hype about it being better, other than trying to justify the massive startup price it takes to run organic soil.

Outside of all that, environment and experience play a big role. Some people just do better with one way than the other and that’s just the way it is.
