Doing a soil system looks really good right now. Having to bring up water and do all the PH stuff is going to suck. I am really debating if it is worth it to do a DWC. I could just pick up 6 3 gallon pots and do that. I ordered a digital TDS and PH meter already, bought the 100 gallon air pump, and I already setup the system. The only problem is that getting water up to the attic is going to be really hard. I can think of only 1 way to do it and it would take an extra $70 of items.

I think I am going to use a 250gph water pump to pump my liquids from my closet up to my attic. I can bring up 2 5 gallon homedepot buckets easily, but I think that just running a pump for 2 1/2 minutes would be easier. If I did that I could just go and buy 3 more 18 gallon tubs for $15 and have two down below, one to pump the water down to, then one with the nutrient solution to pump back up into a second container that I have and I would just take the plants and move them from the old dirty container to the new container.

It really sucks knowing that I am going to have to do a soil grow At least I will have supplies for a nice bubbler setup for later (Maybe in 2 months, depends on if my friend who has a apartment right by the dorms I am going to be living in wants some nice homegrown pot)
