hydroponic is a method of growing plants.
Hydroponics, is a technique for growing plants in nutrient solutions with or without an inert medium as soil to provide mechanical support.To put in simple words, hydroponics is the science of growing plants in mineral and nutrient enriched water without soil.

Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, where the roots are submerged in a nutrient-rich water solution. This technique allows for precise control over the plant's environment and nutrient intake, resulting in faster growth and higher yields compared to traditional soil-based farming. It is often used in indoor or urban farming settings.
Both soil and hydroponic systems have their own advantages and drawbacks. Soil is more forgiving for beginners and typically provides a more natural cultivation process, while hydroponic systems can allow for faster growth rates and more control over nutrient intake. The best choice ultimately depends on your experience level, resources, and desired level of involvement in the growing process.
The budding of a cannabis plant is only performed by a femals plat, the number of buds and there size varies on many factors such as lighting, soil, and method of growing i.e hydroponics or soil. the buds are formed only when the female does not get fertalised by a male plant so keep the men well away from the girls (preferrably in the bin) unluess you appreciate the flowers but definatly in a spearte room. the number of buds is also determined by the size and fertility of the plant with some strains growing larger and also producing more buds. If the plant is grown well with minimal stress the bud yield can be as much as 8 oz a plant if grown in hydrponics but with soil groth the maximum bud you will acheive (DRY) is around 2-3oz and this is with large plants. The buds form from arounf the 4th level of branches but increasing in size and potency higher up the plant with the increased light intensity. rotating the plants and also side lighting will increase over all yield. It is not how many buds the plant will grow but the size and health which is important.
