Ok so I know there are lots of links and journals of different types/styles of growing on here, which is great. However I have a question that more likely than not gets asked on a daily basis and am certain there are many answers to my question on here. Problem is I really dont have the time to scroll through all the journals etc to find what I am looking for so I am hoping someone can send me a link or describe/help me with what I need.
So to the point.......
I have been growing in soil from seed for 2 or 3 years now with some fairly decent results learning by trial and error, improving along the way. But the time has come for me to experiment with hydro or nft. I am really eager to start a grow using one of these methods but I dont know where to start....
What medium? What system? What nutes and schedule?
I have been growing Nirvana wonder woman feminised from seed for last 6 or 7 grows so would like to stay with that strain to first of all compare with a soil grow and second because it yields well and is decent smoke.
Can someone with some experience please give me a simple but effective way to hydro grow without too much technical jargon? I'm not totally dumb but trying to understand some of the terms used which I am unfamiliar with has been confusing me when reading some info.
I have a bluelab ec truncheon and ph meter so am sorted for those readings and plan to run 3 or 4 600w hps after vegging under 2 250w cfl. Ideally want to have 16/18 plants. I will be building from scratch the hydro system or I have thought of purchasing a couple of large 8 pot wilma systems ( has to be the longer narrow tray to fit through loft hatch) but unsure wot medium to use and how to use effectively.
I would be eternally grateful for detailed info or breakdown of wot to do from start to finish, alot to ask but I really would be grateful.
Thanks guys.......
