hey man... I usually just go thru all my posts and threads every day looking for updates.. during the day UK time pretty much because I have nothing better to do at work so I usually get back to people same day'ish so you don't need to pm me lol I don't mind answering questions and helping out, but i'm on my 1st grow too so I'm still learning too, just done all the reading I can and still reading...

A good grower to look up would be Riddleme as he has a lot of tutorials for noobs, desert rat, Uncle ben to name a few they have a lot of knowledge and all you need is to read their threads and you'll learn a hell of a lot.. ther than that I would suggest going around looking at other peoples grow journals as usualy I have found they have had the same problems as me (and got answers for them too) or more problems than me so its always good to read and informative.

one thing i'll say time and time again is read research read, a little bit goes a long way

hey! umm yeah I think you need 50 posts or summin to pm, I'm still working that out.

but yeah I am doing 3 hempy buckets atm though ones empty cos it died XD really easy, tbh the hardest part is when you transplant into them you get about a week of no growth while it adjusts/is shocked and then boom. the best you can do is just read loads

quick edit: btw I didn't mean they died easy lol that was completely my fault for being impatient. hempy buckets are really easy

-Matchbox-

ima do 8 individual DWC buckets, they have air pumps w/8 hose leads for bout 100 bucks, this way i will be able to not only try a different method of growin, but i can adjust each bucket at my leisure to see what works best as far as water temp, nute strenght, nute brand, among many other variables...plus, since theyre covered, no algae to deal with lol and ill have the same space as my table, but will be able to work with what room i have a little better..but yeah man, any other questions or anythin just gimme a holler

hey dude you have your PM message turned off i cant send ya one...but yeah man, my flood n drain table was bought as a package deal, got the table, res, water pump, 28 5"pots, 50L bag of hydroton, tent, cooltube 600w HPS, all the ducting and an inline fan...i like the table, the plants really flourished...i didnt have a TDS/pH meter, so i just used the test tube drops to measure pH n just made educated guesses at nute strength, just read the plants n let them tell me if i needed to add or take away (and really, by the time i harvested i havent even went 1/2 strenght of what the factory recommends so be careful w/those!)...but for the next one, ima rid the table altogether (kinda messy, the roots all grew together which isnt harful, i jus couldnt rotate the plants or move them around) plus not havin a covered reservoir made algae come in like mad
