Should I go with a hydroponic or a aeroponic?? What are the conflicts and or benifits of each?? When using a hydroponic how do you know when to set the intervals for the spray or drip?? I mean how often does it come on and how long does it stay on and how long does it stay off?? What nutes do you mix with the water and is there anything special that you mix that I may not know about??

Aloha, Blayzin

IMO you can't beat DWC for simplicity/results.

Bucket, airstone, nutes,,, Monster trees!
I switched to small--container Coco recently cause I have legal limits on the amount of weed I can store.
A single DWC lady could max me out with one strain:(.
I like variety.:)

Did try a dwc/coco meld that worked too well!
I think theres a picture in my album.

Still askin da right questions.:thumbsup:

for your first time i wouldn't go with aeroponics. They can be finicky systems that can hurt you harvest. A hydroponic dripper system or table system is easy enough to run.

And there are factors involved when figuring out how much and how often to water. I did a flood and drain table and what worked for me was flooding for 5 minutes every two hours. And as far as nutrients, i found House and Garden nutrients to be the most simple line out there. The prices seem high but the samll bottles seem to outlast the bigger competitors bottles.
