I`ve been in a big dilemma lately with either I should use the money I have now for a hydroponic growing system so I can grow my babies without stressin every hour of the day. Some people say I should stick to traditionally growing them indoors. If I should buy a growing system any recommendations of which system I should purchase? since I am new to the interest of hydroponics. If not the hydroponic way any tips on easy and productive indoor growth?
I have feminised Mendocinos so I really want to give it all my best.


For the sake of my seedlings. <3

Thanks,

STAY WITH DIRT so much more forgiving then hydro i know people who have floded hydro systems in town houses and collapsed the secconfd floor. every one i know who grew hydro had mad floods and switched to dirt thats how us fuckers in the wild west go is straight dirt

Coco is easy and quite forgiving. Coco is hydroponic growing.

I'm wording this carefully, but coco for a given pot size out-yields soil. Growth rates are much faster too.

I'd say the majority of people that first grow in soil who then go on to make the transition to coco growing don't look back. When you see the explosive root growth and the other advantages such as the improved cleanliness (I'd rather spill a load of coco over my carpet than a load of wet compost which would be much harder to clean up) many will just not want return to soil. Coco doesn't need sieving like soil does for optimum for optimum results and it 'feels' similar to growing in dirt once you've made up the batch of nutrient solution which you just use to water the coco with.

That said, soil does have it's bonuses such as not having to pH the nutrient solution and if organic fertilizers are used, improved taste and burning. Personally I would lean towards coco but I like both. For a beginner both are fine.

Have you seen the hydroponic info at www.anywherehydroponics.com? The Anywhere Garden kit might work for you.

personally i would use a drip system, either way with a soilless or soil based medium it didnt matter. hydro mediums can be rinsed and re used.

some strains respond better in a hydro set up then others. any strain though, in my experience, during vegetation using a simple ebb&flood system they would grow to be a couple of feet tall in 2-3 weeks from a small clone.

the medium i would get the best results with, was shredded up RockWool cubes 30% Perlite 20% and CoCo Coir 50%. Perlite mining though is a destructive process.
