I agree that soil is much more forgiving. I love soil, but financially, hydro is cheaper. FFoF is the best and also the most expensive. I love the stuff.

I am going to go with a DWC setup. I have my 6, 5gal "Lowes" Bucket, along with "Lowes" 5gal Lids. I cut holes for 6" netted pots. A 20 gal storage tote as the res, and a All the fittings, gromets and tubing to hook it all together. An other advice on setup?
