hello well guys, im starting in hydroponics, i have been doing TONS of research, and today i went to visit this green houses where they plant all kind of vegetables and lots of stuff, in hydroponics, all kind of methods...

Im starting a very (EXTREAMLY) easy method... AND BRUTALY cheap, i already got all my stuff, so... im gonna try it, if it all comes good, im gonna tell everyone how to make a really bad ass easy method that the prize is gonna drive you crazy....

Anyway good luck and WISH ME LUCK ;)

What method does it fall into? Are you using rockwool? Me and my buddy pskipper want to have a hydro system but with no rockwool, due to its alkaline output. Hate testing water so much because the rockwool rises the ph from 5.5 to 8.0 in about 2 days.

No rockwool at all, its expensive like shit and its not good...

a MASTER!!! i mean it!! in Hydroponics showed me how rockwool is so obsolete... but ill keep posting , i should be done with building the system this weekend

if u dont like rockwool y not use perlite & vermiculite about 50/50 mix.Good for doing clones ,seeds & the whole lot from start to finish,can also add some expanded clay about 10% to this mix...

100% grow rocks 100% of the time.....NO rockwool. Perlite & vermiculite is for dirt farmers and it you try it for hydro you could over water and kill your plants in a hurry. Hydro problems are quick to hit and quick to fix if you catch it right. If not it's just as quick to die too. You will work harder with hydro then dirt but the rewards are well worth the effort.

i have never had a problem with perlite and vermiculite.Have always used it .If u want a fool proof systm.i use it in pots then put the pot in a tray in about 1inch of water no more,then u have a plant that will last for upto a week without looking at it,fool proof.flood drain system u always checking ph ,pumps can fuck up,if it runs out of water u r fucked................This may not be the most profesional way but is easy,cheap and gets the results.tried and proven............
