what should i do?

[young hippie]

will be my first indoor grow ive done a lot of research but i just need help with my set up

25 sq feet at the most
dwc hydro set up or soil? not that time consuming
grow indica or sativa with lst?? i want the most yeild possible

4 4foot fluorescent2x tubes per fixture or 180 led grow light?

im not trying to spend alot of money on electricity bills or on lights so 200 on lights is my budget



im a part time worker and a full time student so i dont always have time to do everything that i need to do.

hydro is less messier but you need to be on top of it so nothing gets ruined.
and the lights? well i need advice about that
hps is great but for a electrical bill its not so great...

thank you for reading and i hope i get some suggestions or opinions from you guys/ladies...

From what Ive seen you have been giving out all kinds of advice on growing and setups and you havent even started your first grow? Growing takes time, money, and alot of knowledge to do it right. If you are not willing to do all 3 whats the point of even doing it. How old are you anyways?

If you donâ??t have money, build a DWC or go soil. That would be the cheapest. I have no experience with LED but there is a log going on now with LED and he is on point. khyberkitsune thread is nice.

You are only looking at a 2x4 or 4x4 area for growth with either choice. But you still can grow great weed in that area.

Your growing weed so no matter what system you use it will take time out of your day period. Plus this is a passion, and you can't please a time on passion. I tell my girl this all of the time when I'm watching TV.

Your electric bill will be cheap either way you look at it. 4 bulb t5 is about 200 something watts.

As far as hydro vs. soil I would just look at it this way.

Better smoke, less yield = Soil. (IMO)
Faster growth & finish, more yield = Hydro. (IMO)
