That was the key to my first successful runs b/c god knows those poor plants never should have survived let alone produce significant product! Perhaps you have good chemistry skill but otherwise, hydro is going to piss you off. Screw it up at any point and you will end up with a bucket of slimy roots. If you go hydro do lots of reading! Keep with it. It just takes a bit of perseverance.


OP...reread this ^^^^^^ , and then read it again. It's excellent advice. Don't even *think* of hydro until you can control a soil grow,
