I keep my temporary moms in hydro and I love it, however I keep bonsai soil mums as well to preserve the strains long term.

they are rooted in rapid rooters and then to 3x3x2.5 cubes and then in pots with loose rockwool floc. I was amazed with how big they were able to get in 7" pots half filled with rockwool floc so I'm going with 6" pots for temp moms now.

hydro growth with soil portability, only "minus" is that I water daily and rockwool floc needs to be properly presoaked. Im not very good with plants in dirt so this works out well.
I never feed them more than 600 ppm, always ph 5.2.

my mums been in a DWC for ages ... with a high output flo (110watt motherwing)

its excellent at 2ft i can easily pull 20+ clones off each , spray them with nitrozyme and 2 weeks later can do it all over again. they do grow fast and topping and pruning is a must as they grow fast ... as long as the lights dont get to close and you keep the lumens down then you wont have any probs .
cf about 1.0-1.2 , ph 5.5

to much light can push them into flowering.
thing is if anything goes wrong temps, ph, cf, etc it will stress and possibly flower
.......................................................................................................

soil will keep them longer but at a slower pase and it acts as a buffer for badness so if anything goes wrong you can fix it before anything is stressed.

if you visit your grow room everyday and maintain it 24/7 ...hydro is fine , if not stick with soil .
