Hey fellow grower, fellow stoner, and fellow computer geek

I can suggest Better Grow Hydro for you. www.BGHydro.com kick-ass place. A+++ customer service.

As to hydro... it doesn't have to be that complex. It can just be a DWC setup (bucket, air stone pumping air bubbles at the bottom, fill with nutrient mix, place plant on top).

Soil vs hydro... there's an endless option there... it's like choosing Gnome vs KDE... it just depends on what you want. There isn't 1 right way to do things. That's what's great about this hobby!

I'm thinking about your box. Do you need stealthyness? Do you need to be able to take it down ASAP if need-be?

Because, cramming EVERYTHING inside one box, is, in my opinion, very hard. I mean, you can get your plants, bulbs, fans, etc. inside the box... but, from my experience, you always get "stuff" sticking outside of your box... either a fan... or a probe... or an extension cord or two...

It isn't that you can't do it... but again, from my experience, grow setups are very hard to make 90% stealthy.

I realize that you posted other questions, but... my fellow geek... I need to off load this WiFi connection like, 15 minutes ago... so, I hope I can re-log in tonight.

Best to you buddy,
