Contemplating Hydro

Butthead08 · #1 07-04-2008, 09:57 AM

Hey Guys! I was wondering if anyone knew a good site to explain... well ALL of the things that go intro hydro growing. I need to know everything from what kind of nutrients to start with, brand names, etc.

Maybe just a good hydro guide would be great! Thanks!

Um not really,this site is seriously lacking real info for the noob hydro grower,ive spent buko time here & what little info ive seen is sketchy,sporatic & seriously lacking.

Whats needed is for a hydro expert like Al B Fuct or Filthy Fletch to write up a start to finish hydro tutorial,one with parts lists,suppliers,feeding schedules,nutrient regimes ect.

If i had the skills i'd write a tutorial but alas im a meesly soil grower still.

Well there is so much you got to decide. Drip,EEB Passive, how u want to grow. Then you can decide what you need from there, are you buying or making your setup. then organic or synthetic. let me no a lil of what u want to do and i can help you out if you like.

Well which method do you think is easiest. We're working with a small space, and we would definetly want to make our own, not really trying to buy or spend to much. Organic all the way... Yeah i am starting from scratch here. I don't know anything about the needed nutes or schedules or what needs monitoring as far as chemicals.

Go to the link for my grow and see if the trays i made will sute you it was bout 30 or so to make them the pumps are the most expensive thing to make a tray. then we will go from there.

Yea I agree that I can't find any information that's in easy to understand format. I wonder if Jorge's Grow DVD 2 will have the info... i know it talks about hydro.

I think this site has a lot of the information here you just have to look for it. The biggest problem is that hydroponics encompasses a lot of different things and which is better is just a lot of opinions, especially brands. I think your best bet is to look around and then ask someone you think knows a lot, like fletch.

Can do. We're waiting until after our current soil grow is done. We're far away but I wanted to get information early so I know what I'm doing when I get there. I think I'm just going to buy a book, I found some pretty good ones.
