    Now, Im a new grower, I chose soil to start with but I heard you can easily make a small 2-3 plant hydroponics kit, and Ive heard alot about plants growing faster and bigger with a much higher yield using this method(ive heard of growers growing up to a new set of leaves everyday using hydroponics). and I was wonderings how I could easily,cheaply make a small hydroponics kit for about 2 or 3 plants.

    I agree with LAB RAT.
    Hydro will grow pot faster, but the yield per plant won't increase, you'll just get it quicker.

    Hydroponics involves growing two ways.
    Nutrient Film Technique, where the water
    constantly moves over the roots with the
    grow medium mixed in, or Flood & Drain
    where a bucket is periodically pumped with
    water and nutrients over the roots then
    drained.
    Of course, nothing stopping you growing in
    soil still with or without automated watering.

    If you make your own hydro system I would strongly advised using a wick method, as it requires no electricity, and has the lowest maintenance. But you should put a few more wicks than most guides advise.

    yesterday my friend whose been growing for a few years and being saving is goin to buy one of those rotating hydrosystems, it holds up to 120 plants for the small one.
    anyways he is giving me his hydroponic garden including.....the hydro system (2 60 plant tubs and resivoir) his carbon filter/exhaust fan, and both ballasts with bulbs and reflectors both 400w, one ml and one hps.
    im so happy.
    hydroponics can produce plants with 6-14 grams on them in a lil over a month using clones. "sea of green"

    www.hydroponicsonline.com has a setup to make one out of 2 liter bottles. i built my setup for $35 I think it holds 11 plants. You can get the pump that for the unit at Harbor Frieght or a pet store.
