Soil is less forgiving if you ramp any type of nutrients. Miracle grow, burns ladies. Going all organic, and using stuff like burnt banana skins, gull crap, bat guano, earthworm casings etc, is also an artform in comparison. Maybe something like Foxfarm soil that is already at the set ratio and just needs a little sand. But stuff like going to Home Depot, picking up some cactus sand, some peet, some vermiculite and some super soil is a really tricky business if you aren't experienced with the strain in question, and how it reacts. Deep water culture, thin film nutrient, and aeroponics are flushable if you go over and manage to burn your plants. Managing pH with blood meal (or worse, sulphur) and lime, is also a righteous pain in the ass for a first timer. The ladies also have a higher chance of root rot, in soil from overwatering. You can't mess up DWC. I can see someone messing up ebb and flow though, timers are essential on that, and clogs can mean a lost crop.
