Ok i have looked at an awful lot of posts, however all the hydro kits i see are very expensive and for at least 4 or more plants. I have a nice little location that i could easily fit just one plant, Problem being there are no kits for just 1 plant. I will be using a clone to start off. Anyone know of any cheap kits that i can buy? Just after a nice starter kit, Not planning on growing shit loads you see...

Any advice?

Cheers

Oh btw, I found this guide: Cannabis Hydroponics Systems (http://www.weedfarmer.com/cannabis/hydrosystems_guide.php)

Scroll down to where it says " EBB & FLOW SYSTEM (FLOOD AND DRAIN) "

That is the kind of system i want, as it looks cheap as fuck! :D
But the guide is'nt all that too rich in detail.
Anyone wanna expand on it?


Peace

There are a whole bunch of DIYs on this forum for all types of hydro systems. You'l probably have to do some looking to find them, but it will be worth your while.

Waterfarm by General Hydro- oughta run ya 45-55 US for complete kit w/ nutes, media.

Great little 1 plant units, and ya can upgrade to a multi-unit set easily.

Hey rhizome (or whoever),

I loooked at the Waterfarm, looks sweet and simple. Is that a good set up for starting your clones in?

u can see in the first pic to last that was 1 1/2 weeks of growth. so yes it works great but as they get bigger just remember they start using alot more water. i have to top off daily now.

i use a few 5 gal buckets and a 1or3 gal bucket within that 5 gal bucket. drip feeds from the res to the bucket, collects on the bottom of the 5 gal bucket and back to the res. very cheap and can grow 1 very large plant or a few smaller ones in a single bucket. i fill w lava rock.

you can also get mesh pots/lid for a 5gal bucket in place of the 1or3 gal bucket, again very cheap.
