Whats up man, Welcome to RIU.

As for a good hydroponic system, for what you are looking to use it for, I would suggest a DWC system. They are the easiest to maintain a smaller number of plants while being able to have them grow big enough to see a good yield. A 400W HPS light would do great for this type of setup. I believe Stealth Hydroponics has a good DWC system that fits 6 plants. You could always make your own though.....

As for seeds, Nirvana - Hemp Depot - The Attitude. I've successfully ordered and received my shipment from all three. I'm in Texas by the way, so your good.

Well, to my understanding, a Bubbleponics is like a top feed system combined with a dwc. The aerated nutrient reservoir is fed directly into the root system.

Wow, the best strain...... man.... thats like trying to pick my favorite band.....

Well let's try to figure out what the best choice is for you.
What type of high are you looking to get? (energetic, total couch lock, or uncontrollable laughter)
How much room do you have to grow?
How long do you want the flowering to last? (anywhere form 7-14 weeks)

i love the high i got from smokin purple passion...and afghani trainwreck...so i guess... shit.. i like all the high's.. more of the uncontrollable laughter though... i also looked at this other hydro kit site... Discount Hydroponics - DH System 1 i wanna try gettin one with the light included...im on a budget..i cant spend $250 for a light lol.. maybe eventually... seems all the 400's are expensive..what if i used a couple 150s or a couple 250's?

if you know people with power tools and or have them yourself, particularly, a drill with hole saw bits, you can make a bubbleponics system cheap. like stupid cheap.

2 250s would be fine, but you would prolly spend the same amount. That system looks good, I'd go with it.

Well, how much vertical room do you have to grow? Because purple passion gets TALL like skyscaper tall. Afghani tends to stay squat and stout.
