Dude I have never grown a plant in my life. And I did hydro. It has been costly Bc as much research as u think u know u still have to keep changing it up to get better results. I've had to add many lights, I've had to do more rigging than I ever realized I could do...I've had to have nutrients I didn't even need overnighted at rediculous costs...ph meters, Ppm meters, ph supplies. Lots of twine and tape fo sho...fans. Stick with maxi grow and maxi bloom...then Kool bloom u can't go wrong. Get a tent and an HID system and keep fans in and u should be fine. And hudrogaurd is a lifesaver. Don't be afraid to try new things....I even snapped my main off and she is better than ever. It will increase time but it will pay off!
