if your interested in a hydro system i can show you a diy bucket system that cost a total of 71 dollar from walmart and home depot. it is very simple and is a 5 pot system. the nutes you use are up to you but i highly recommend using cutting edge solutions. it is very resonabley priced contains a ph buffer that adjusts your ph to 6.5 and has a easy to under stand feeding chart, and nute calculator making the nutes fool proof. if you look on ebay you can find a start up package that is 160 shipped your door. and it is enough nutes for several grows.
just let me know as i have a complete list of products and easy to follow instuctions that i have made up.
