I'm looking into growing 4 plants indoors using hydroponics. It will either be in a garage or a clubhouse, both unfortunately are not insulated. I live in socal so the whether here is pretty hot, however its cooling down now and will drop to around 70-80 in the day 50-30's at night. I don't know a lot about temperature however it seems it will be a difficult growing environment. During the summer it is anywhere from 90-120 deg. and in that case i was wondering what i do as well. Links to good guides that will produce good results would be appreciated. I really want to get into growing so is can experiment with crops and try to produce better results each time. Thanks in advance :rastasmoke:.

Have you ever grown before? If not you really should get your hands dirty with a soil grow first. Things can turn ugly in a hurry with hydro. Its best to get some experience with soil first.

Go hydro , man. Forget soil it will not help if hydro is what you want. Yes soil is it seems more forgiving but it's not. In soil when things start to go bad it's game over. And soil is much slower.

In hydro when things start to go bad the problem can be changed and take effect more rapid. You have total control. I did not lose anything from hydro problems.

From what you say of your setup place, things must be right and can cost alot if you don't have a good plan.

Your space either way must have insulation and air in and air out. A/C big enough for the space. Heat helps when cold but fish tank heaters are cheap. The whole space doesn't have to be heated.

I tried soil inside first and barely got anything from it. Started getting hydro together and boom. Untill my nephew busted me.

The big part of your money should go to lights. More, bigger lights more buds. A good meter and nutes. What ever kind of hydro system you want can be made for pennies.

Help is here. All I can say is ( come on in boys the water is fine.)
