Run DWC, it's very easy. In addition to being easy to set up and maintain, it's a very productive and cheap method. You can set up a 5-gallon bubbler for about $20 in supplies (bucket, net pot, air pump, air stones).
You can leave the buckets separate in the beginning to get the hang of a hydroponic grow but you will have to monitor them each day. Later on, you can plumb multiple buckets together with a reservoir in a recirculating system. The connectivity and higher volume of nutrient solution allows for a more consistent and stable growing environment.

I'd go with DWC system (Deep Water Culture, also known as a bubbler). They are easy and cheap to build, relatively easy to maintain, and you get great results.
You're definitely going to want a pH Meter, and an EC/TDS Meter (I recommend the Bluelab Truncheon's). At first you can actually get away with a standard test tube and solution pH test kit, and you don't really need an EC/TDS meter, but you will get better results.
Most, if not all, the info you need on DWC systems can be found here: http://boards.cannabis.com/hydroponi...-dwc-club.html
In my opinion, soil was great, but I just love hydro. Anyways, good luck to you! :jointsmile:

I always point beginners in hydro in the direction of the Emily's Garden. I started with one, and I'm using one now. It's a very simple DWC, and it produces some amazing results compared to dirt farming. Search it, then buy it for $85 or build one for $35.
And if you don't know what DWC is yet, I'd say you need to read up more on the basic grow styles of hydro.
The essentials?
Greg Green's MJ Bible, available for free via a link on this forum
A good light
Good Ventilation for the light
A couple of small fans
Veg nutes
Bud nutes
Emily's Garden
A PH meter - not strips
A PPM (AKA EC) meter, once you get serious
A couple of timers
A clone preferably, or some seeds.
