As long as you have a mild interest in it it is great. I in no way believe in the superiority of one method above another either. I personally have played with pretty much every tek and like you say it is all about baby steps. I didn't just do a room full of DWC I first made one small bucket. Same with NFT. Only ebb and flow did I go big from day one lol no choice there really. Big reason for me staying LOS is the amount of time that has freed up going organic. If I had to put blumats in my rig I would literally have almost nothing to do and maybe even get sad because of it. No more pH'ing, mixing nutes, calculations and logs to tweak calculations, and this huge safety buffer hydro didn't give me. Not pushing anybody into it, but it is definitely worth a dabble if ever the urge strikes you. And of course any info you need will be here EDIT: nothing beats the freedom of being off bottles. It is a huge relief
