Hydroponic Vegetable/Fruit Forum??

Can anyone link me to a forum that uses at the least a VBulletin design rather than something like gardenweb uses for their forums? I am not interested in growing bud at the moment and want to learn about growing soil-less to turn a potentially extra bedroom into a hydro grow garden when we move.

It may not be the best idea for everyone, but your not always able to grow in the sunlight your provided (no yard) so I want to do it this way.

Can anyone share a link to a quality forum focused on hydroponic gardening?

I grow hydroponic veggies. Right now I only have a pepper and a tomato in 5 gal DWC buckets outside and they're doing awesome. I was having a friendly competion with my mom's soil plants. She has one tomato in a 10+ gallon pot in good composted soil (our town has a huge compost heap that you can go to and take as much as you want) that is rootbound and dying. And three peppers in the same size pot that are at most a little ahead of the one hydro pepper.
I'm going to be building an indoor garden when it gets cool. Fresh produce in the winter is awesome. One day I will grow an indoor watermelon.

vine fruits scare me. they all come off as kudzu to me haha. they take over!

my mother wants me to start her a dwarf lemon tree from a fallen lemon but it seems as though they only bear fruit if started from a limb/cutting? they say they need an acidic nutrient bath, but don't tomatoes need something ~7 pH?

I have so many questions but I can't find ANYTHING that shares info on how to grow step by step for different fruits/veggies. I believe I will begin such a project with my grow but I don't know how to do some of the basics, already. Is there a source out there online that can give me some tips for growing at the least a tomato plant?

I'll be moving indoors for tomatoes (determinate cherry and beefsteak). I'll also be doing some lettuce, micro greens. All in hydroponic or modified hydroponic setups. Not sure how much space I can use in the garage yet and thinking about a greenhouse (cheap ebay model).
Definately could use some tips on indoor tomatoes if anyone would like to share.

I'm growing a dwarf red robin hydroponic DWC. The garden forum here works well for questions but the indoor forum might work as well

do you insulate the 5 gallon buckets?

Personally, I use the weed threads and just modify them to my needs.
One thing I will say is if using shared reservoirs, it's difficult as you have to get plants with similar ec requirements. My Basil is suffering badly as the ec is too high, but has to be for my toms, peppers etc.
