GENERALLY SPEAKING!

Fertilizer contains only some of the basic nutrients required for growth - generally NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. Some fertiliser formulations do however contain some micro-elements.

Hydroponic plant food has to contain all the nutrients (macro and micro) required for the plant to grow - it needs to be a complete feeding/ fertiliser solution as the plant cannot obtain any nutrients from outside of the system.

Can a marijuana plant grow as a hydroculture plant?

Yes, its is virtually the same as hydroponic cultivation of the plant but a lot more laid back. Both Hydroponic and Hydrocultured plants are grown is a soil free medium. The difference is that hydroponics allows for optimal maturation of a plant and perfect cloning (propagation via cuttings) by controlling and regulating the nutrients/fertilizer, sunlight, and water exposure. Hydroponics is basically a pretty fish tank with bubbles and a filter whereas hydroculture is a fish bowl.
