I'll grant you that hyroponically grown dope is usually very good. But that is because growers that are sophisticated enough to use hydroponics are also very skilled at growing dope. Shitty seeds yield shitty dope no matter how you grow it.

You are correct Mr. Skip..... my point was if someone put the time and money into a hydro setup, then they are going to be growing good stuff. I had a very nice hydro setup back in the day myself. I even cross-bred some plants to create one helluva good strain. Got the original seeds from Amsterdam. Still have some of those seeds actually....
As far as hydro vs. soil.... The soil does not take any THC away from the plant. You can get the exact same quality stuff from soil or from hydro. Hydro systems allow the plant to mature faster, and are generally easier to maintain once they are producing. The THC depends on the strain of plant you use, how well you maintain the nutrient levels, and how well you "cure" it after it's cut from the plant. You have to leave the plant hanging in total darkness for at least 2 days to bring out the full THC levels. When it's in darkness during that time the plant quits making chlorophyll and pumps all the THC out to the beautiful little crystals on the buds..... That's magic right there folks.......
