my experience with hydro was not good...worst tasting weed i ever grew...but i was total noob way back then but i ended losing a couple plants midstream so i don't want to discourage you from hydro but you may want to grow with something like coco for a few grows to get a good handle on what you want to do and direction to take....then you wont be as tied to your grow and it is more forgiving when things arent exactly correct...just hate to see you get 5th week of flower and have a major issue and lose the entire crop...jmo TVwolfman :hippy:
