    Coco mainly, it's easy to use I have complete control and I get very large yields. It's also very hard to get good soil in my area and hydro is kind of a pain.

    Soil but considering to develop my own soilless grow style because soil is a bit limiting in the small pots that I like to use and I'm not going to use coco simply because it's not locally available and I don't like to be ordering shit online all the time.

    biobizz light mix soil, find it easy to use - not over enriched and pretty forgiving to a novice like me

    Coco for me. I tried DWC a couple of years ago and although I got fantastic yields, it was too full on for me. Stress, stress and more stress.

    With Coco I feel that I am in control, at my own pace.
    Now if you`ll excuse me, it`s my lunch time

    Good quality amended soil, I personally use Fox Farms Happy Frog, or Ocean Mix, don't believe they're available in the UK. I use it because it's much less labor intensive, don't have to check it daily, adjust EC, and PH, deal with runoff etc.
