I’m thinking of in 2017 making a room in my garage 10x12 or so. Thinking of growing some autos and my veggies in this space, 18/6 lights. It’s been about a billion years since I did hydro last.
So the question is what would be the best setup for this kind of grows?
I did hydro for 5 years way back in the 80’s and don’t remember much. I had a huge reef tank and maintained others and love the total control I had like hydro. I made water added everything down to trace elements. This is why I want to do hydro again. It was kinda like @Usmcjojo system he got without the digital stuff. @Oak I hope my stoned ramblings make any sense. I have nothing. Want to start fresh
well…folks with experience get faster results with hydro… but I think soil is less expensive and more stable. Since you are just getting back into growing I would setup with soil for my first big grow or two… then once I had my legs under me and got everything dialed in…I would spend my last veg cycle studying hydro methods, and my last flower cycle acquiring hydro supplies…then go hydro once I had a fat stash of tasty buds to keep my blood pressure down while I got hydro dialed in.
