I have decided that I want to grow again. more effectively and more efficiently. After reading the section dedicated on hydroponics in the grow bible, and several different resources on the web, I still havn't quite grasped how the system works, lol.
There are several questions that I have, not only about hydroponics but other aspects of the future grow as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I do not want to mess up this time and I want to come out with a very high, potent, good looking yield.
Given these circumstances: The amount of space I have to spare is about 6 ft by 6 ft. The plants need to be short and fat, Indicas I believe.
1. What would be the most effective hydroponic system for that amount of space?
2. Is there an Indica strain that has high yields, the flowers are extremely potent, and physically looks good?
3. Is it possible to buy feminized seeds? If so, what are the chances that it will be female?
4. How many fully grown plants could be fit in such space?
5. Is it possible to build a hydroponic system that is equally as effective as the kits that are very expensive on the internet?
There's much more...but I'll go from your responses...if any.
Once again, I appreciate the help, and glad to be part of the community.

1. I would go with a DWC
2. If your looking for feminized seeds and your on a budget check out Female seeds at seedbotique.com( I think i spelled boutique wrong) I grew out some Northern lights from them and they were very poten and the yeild was nice. Or grab some clones which my be close to imposible for you to come by.
3. They chances of the being hermie is greater then with regular seeds. It will depend on how much stress you put on the plants.
4. Thats a big space you could probley get at least 2-3 20 gallon rubermaid buckets in there with 6 plants per bucket. Thats going to take a loot of light I would say at least a 1000watt. I would go with 1 bucket 6 plants 1 400watt mh with the hps convertable bulb. You can get them cheap at insidesun.com
5. You can build a real nice hydro system for like $20. All you need is the bucket the lid I would go with 3 "12 airstones some net pots, clay pebbles, and airpump some air line and shabang instant $20 DWC.
