Dirt farming is what you want to do. The down side to hydro is if water leaks out it can destroy a ceiling in your home.

I assume your mother knows you are going to grow or do you think you can keep it from her?

You can't just incase you think you can. Unless she is blind, def and has no nose to smell. I doubt any of that fall's into your mothers category at all so she will know.

Just a friendly warning to you.

Good Luck.
