I have just recently started growing hydro in a secret garden, It's worked great and easy as pie. I just caught myself starting so I thought lets journal this one. I have a ton of seeds all have came up female. So this one is a lemon haze, blue cheese strain I made myself. Cloning is easiest but you see why I don't. The black tub at the bottom can have as many holes as you like but I think more than three you can't possibly grow a great plant with too many others. I have a 3 hole tub and it was too much to grow even 3 so I just use one hole it works great the plant has plenty of room and you can grow a real thick and bushy plant. The box is only 3 feet tall and its under LEDs with reds and blue spectrum. Growing under LEDs takes a lot longer than I'm used to but they do their job really well. By longer I mean to show sex etc... I use RXgreen solutions Nutes grow A and B then when your ready, meaning the plant is the shape and and still has a third of the box until it hits light, then your ready to start the bloom A and B and also bulk. So as I said I just popped 3 days ago. The seed has its own Nutes right now for up to ten days, I don't wait ten days tho maybe a week then start the Nutes. The light above also has a switch for bloom cycle. So you change lights cycle to 12/12 I start at 18/6 I'll show some of the last batch also. I go by the trichomes not the actual specified time. Trichs tell you all you need to know. Clear not ready, cloudy getting ready some cloudy some Amber it's ready. I like sativas and that seems to be the perfect combo. Too much Amber will make it more of a couch lock which I don't care for. I also have a decarbox machine and a magic butter machine. They work great. So hers my start I hope it helps some one or please tell me if there is a better way or if you see something done wrong. Dawn
