Also I really would like to see you do hydro. You'll get much more weed that way for your effort. A simple DWC Deep Water Culture is extremely easy. Search the web and/or this forum for Emily's Garden. That's how I started and it is real simple, about like soil. I was used to growing leaves as big as my hand in soil. When I switched to an emily's garden my leaves were as big as my head. Also you can build an Emily's garden for around $35. Just copy what they have and get your parts from Home Depot.
