Hi Dank,

I just want to clarify a common misunderstanding: growing hydroponically is not necessarily more expensive than growing in soil. a VERY efficient hydro set up can be assembled for only a few dollars, no joke. air pump ($10), air hose ($.50), 5 gallon bucket ($5), air stone ($2) and THATS IT. and of course nutrients. splitters can be used ($.25 each) to divide hose and provide air to multiple airstones and therefore multiple reservoirs. if you're willing to do a little research, and money is the ONLY reason you won't go hydro, then my advice is sound. nothing against soil, just my two cents. later.
macnasty Reviewed by macnasty on . Grow Mediums? I am new to growing and want to get an indoor grow closet going. I want to know what grow medium to use. Seeing how it is my first time and money is tight, i think i want to stay away from hydroponics. I was looking at this grow kit, by EarthBox - Home and it looked pretty good to me. Should i use soil, and if so do i get soil with fertilizer or nutrients already mixed in? What would be easy for a first time grow? I thought the earth box looked good because it has a water reservoir, so Rating: 5
