I get most from discounthydro(dot)com or BGhydro(dot)com. Don't forget to get some Cal-Mag plus and some PH up and down to control the PH. It's critical.
Thanks LOC NAR,

I'll do just that and buy those products. As for now, I'm just going buy some already mixed concentrated nutrients from my local hydponic farms (they grow lettues and tomatos).
At the same time, I'm expanding the my limited knowledge as I'm browsing through internet.

I found out that most hydroponic systems place an air pump and an air stone inside their reservoir. At least, wick system, Drip system, and water culture system use them. I'm going to use a Drip system for my vegetative room, and ebb and flow for my flowering room.

The question is... Does an air pump with an air stone be placed in a Drip system's reservoir really necessary?

According to my reference, this function is to give oxgen to the roots, but does it prevent the reservoir from producing other unwanted bacteria or.... some greenish algae inside the reservoir?

thanks ..
