I think Hydro is the way I want to go.

Where can I buy product and what is needed??

What type of store sells this stuff so I can see if there are any in the DFW area.

Thanks.

Hey Tator

you can put together a good hydro setup for cheap


just need to figure out what style you want to grow, Drip, DWC, there are so many ways to get it done

on my first setup I spent less than 50.00 on the hydro part

there are so many other things you need to consider before you start

Light

Air Filter ( if smelling it would be a problem )

water test equipment

what size area are you working with

I would say to figure out what you have to work with and go from there

if you have any questions, ask and someone will help ya

later Tator

I doubt I am smart enough to build my own.I found something online with a light that has caught my eye. About $150.

keep looking round tator the world wide web has alot to offer look and you shall see catch ya round the site some time

hey what do you do when u have a nitrogen defieciency but no money to by grow formula

Well devilsmokey the only natural easy source to come by that contains nitrogen that i know of is manure, but it is definetily a slow feeding source, now i know you dont have the money for fert but you would be suprised what you can find at walmart for some cheap quick ferts, I mean you could go down there and find the cheapest smallest baggy of fert pellets for under 2 bucks, just the other day i saw a small baggy of palm tree nutes which contain a hefty amount of nitrogen for just under 2 dollars. pretty much anything you find there for the most part will have nitrogen in it but you can always check on the back! Hope this helps good luck

Hey tator why dont you think you can build your own hydro? ya a lot of people around here have got some pretty neat set-ups that work pretty good but we must not get away from the point of hydroponics- to simply deliver our nutrient rich solution to the roots of what it is we are growing, and then allowing our roots to airate. look at this simple set up of how you can effectively deliver your nutes the hydro way!



all you got to do is lift and set that bucket on somethin twice a day for 20 minutes and there you have it, simple as that. If you want it automated just slap a pump in that hose,then install a hose at the level you want your water to rise to in the grow tank and run it it so it sits ant the top of your solution tank and it will drain and constantly recycle for as long as the pumps on, hell if you had 150 bucks you could make a super bomb one! good luck!

Hey Tator. There are 2 local grow supply houses. Hit me up in chat and Ill tell you where to find em.

Peace
