Ok...so i haven't started a grow yet. Up to now it's all been research. I am seriously going to grow but i feel as though i'm not knowledgable enough yet. So to all of you that have grown...I ask my three most pressing questions for now:

1. Anyone set up a Hydro system for around $500? (looking for 3 or 4 plant setup)
2. If so, could you list the components?
3. I have a few seeds but they are probably older then me. I tested a few to see if i could get them to germinate. One of them did, so i might be able to get them to work. If i cannot, have any of you purchased seeds from the seedbanks, and if so which are the best?

ANY replies are appreciated!:rasta:

Well im not really a hydro grower, but for a 4-5 plant set up you should be able to get something within 500 bucks.

Seeds are good for years, as long as they are kept dry and cool.

A good seedbank that i know are realiable is www.seedsman.com

check their other web pages, for other versions and sizes ... I bought Mylar from these folks, had good service, and fast shipping ... they also have the best prices on lights, I've found so far ... :thumbsup:

I like that site its the best one I've seen because its kind to noobs. Gives a brief synopsis of what the plants are instead of that tradesman shit talk I dislike. Plus the pricing is a bit more how I want it. I'll probally buy for them now thanks for that.
