Starting a hydro system! Please advice.

mawiwaui · #1 (**permalink**) 12-06-2008, 09:55 AM

Good day there! I am currently an outdoor grower but I want to purchase a hydro system... any advice out there on which system to purchase? I need at least to hold 4 - 6 plants. I'm on a tight budget can you please recommend? Also I know that hydro needs other type of nutrients than soil.. if I use soil nutes I will burn the plant... what are the recommended nutes? Can you please advice? Can you please link the products?

Thank you in advance for any advice given,

MW

IMO an ebb-n-flow setup is the cheapest to start, and it has virtually no maintenance.
Just oce a week you have to clean out your resevoir and pump.
Log onto Advanced Nutrients. Their website gets into what kind and amounts you'll need.

Cheaper yet... is a DWC setup. 4 buckets, 2 air pumps, lids w/ net pots, air stones, tubing... you can have al lthat for under $50. Nutes, you don't wanna use soil nutes, GH and AN nutes you can get for another 20-30$.

without the lights your total cost is under $100.
