Emily Garden Hydro System

I am a first time grower, and contemplating to either build my own system or user the Emily Garden Hydroponic Kit.
Emily's Garden Hydroponic System at Planet Natural

Has anyone used this before? Does this look suitable for growing?

no no! don't make that mistake!

The problem with that hydro system is the reservoir is 2gal. My plants use 20 gallons a week. So with a 2 gal reservoir you will need to stand there 24/7 adding water and adjusting PH. Also this system IMO will tend to cause root rot.

I would recommend the Turbo Garden or there is a similar system called the micro garden. You will have better luck.

If you are a first time grower I would recommend that you use good soil and experiment with hydro on the side. That way you will have something to smoke while you contemplate why the plants in the hydro system died so suddenly.

ebb-flow hydro systems work great and are much easier to set up. If your pump breaks you have the option of using a bucket to manually water.

That is my opinion.

man get a 3x3 tables if you can. cool beans. hey on a site this guy was pulling 18 ounces a run with the turbogarden. I just ordered 12 turbogarden pots and am going to be using it with rw cubes and blaocks on a 3x3. i like the idea of moving the pots aorund. This my first real grow after a practice bagseed run with learning ecperiments and gathering equioment. from what i can tell ebb is awesome.

I wonder how hard it is to build Stinkbud Aero system. He said that it would only cause $40 and easy to do.

This is my first grow, so I am trying to keep cost to a minimum. I planned on using soil, but keeping my eyes open for other option too.

get a rubbermaid tote with an airstone...
