Simplistic, yet great hydro system.

I keep telling people oxygen to the roots is the key. I guess you helped prove it Treetops.

I want to try hydro, even aeroponics, but I'd rather get a feel for hydro before dabbling into that sort of thing. What is a simple hydro system that will teach you what you need to know? 1000watt light, 4x4 grow space. SOG most likely. Rating: 5

I ran a 5 gallon bucket DWC system for a single plant, the rootball took up the whole bucket within 6 weeks from a seed. I am sure given enough lumens I could easily fill a 25 gallon bucket with roots by the time flowering was done and that would make for a huge plant.

The whole idea of hydroponics is to grow bigger plants with smaller root masses.

Oh well, I guess this grow is impossible as well, since there's no way that 3 plants could grow in less than a quart of nutrients:

Treetops, that is super cool.
Wait until you get those Daddys Girls flowering. I was shocked at how grapefruity they smell. OMG. I can't wait to try out that strain!!!

Really i thought the point of hydroponics was to provide more Oxygen, Water, and nutrients to increase photosysthesis Thereby increasing growth and vigor. When I do hydro i usually give them more room for the roots.

hmm, I am still not decided.

One thing is fact, I will be living in an apt for months, so I can't build any rooms, they have to be temperary.

Check out hydro huts. They make great temporary rooms. :thumbsup:

I have a Hydro Hut Mini that is 39 in x 39 in x 6.5 feet tall and it works very nicely for my personal consumption needs. It is well made and sturdy.

My advice is to buy one locally if you can, and check that all the parts are there before leaving the store... Either that or if you order it have the store owner check and verify all of the parts are in the box...

HERE'S WHY:
When I bought mine, it was missing 2 pieces and I had to drive it back to Green Coast Hydro and get the missing stuff. They were super cool about it and said that every once in a while that happens. If I would have checked prior to leaving the store it would have saved me an hour of driving and 10 bucks in gas.

Oh I know, hydro is so mysterious isn't it. So many options on the way to big beautiful buds.

Hmmmm, let's see. Oh I know! An Emily's Garden-type set up would be perfect for you! Hydro huts are a pretty awesome idea, but your closet is already there and it's free. It might even have an electrical outlet in it, but if not, it's real easy to cut through the drywall to get to the wiring from an outlet from an adjoining room, and mount an outlet for the closet on the same stud. Or if it's got a light on the ceiling you can get to some wiring that way. Or you can get a stud finder that shows where wiring is also. Or maybe I'm just going on and on, and will never, ever shut up...

Hell yeah, closets work great! I have a Flower closet (48 in x 24 in x 6.5 ft tall), a Veg closet (24 in x 24 in x 5 ft tall), and a Hydro Hut for my moms and clones. Soon I'll be switching the Flower to the Hut, Moms and clones to the small closet, Vegging to the big closet. And 85% of all the plants are hydro, only Moms are in dirt.

The only real pain with closets IMO is that my door openings are smaller than the actual grow space and its difficult to get stuff in and out of there and reach the back when inspecting plants. A pain yes, but it doesn't keep me from growing in them!
