One plant ? That would be a bubbler, very easy or a drip system. Just about as easy, I like drip better. You can make one yourself for pennies. The big ?? is what kind of light Do you have or going to get. At least a 400 HPS with a conversion 400 MH for veg. Really what you ask for is all over the hydro section. Many put thier grows on to help others start. Every ones grow is a little dif. Here is a small 2 plant system but you can make one but 46 bucks ain't bad, with instruction on video cd. http://www.landmsales.com/Hydromagnum.htm I use the one with 6 plants but the 2 will grow trees. My grow only has a few weeks left and I might get a pound. Of coarse I have a new 1000HPS hortilux eye that doubles my harvest from a cheap bulb. Do a search on my name you will see my grows. Unless one of us were right there and knew what you had and could spend and your space, it's hard. Just one plant. What if it's male ? You can get fem seed or clone from a fem mother. If you want to do hydro,some say it's hard but if I can do it anyone can. Read all you can even a small system needs almost the same equipment as a big one. Like PH meter and a EC,TDS meter. I don't think just one tutorial would help everyone because we are all a little dif. Read up and then ask ???? Do you just want a hobby or grow your own to keep from buying crap weed. Any way read and keep asking ???? Later and no worries mate.
