Thanks. It is Deep Water Culture. You could do one bucket with an air stone and a submersible pump. I have all the buckets linked making it an RDWC (Recirulating Deep Water Culture).

It seems we might have missed the noob part. I know and am pretty sure most people that grow will agree. This is an ever going learning exp. I personly belive that for your fisrt grow you need to start small with as many constants as posable.

I would suggest if your first grow getting maybe a 30 gallon rubbermaid box with lid. and start with CFLs they are cheap and work very well as long as you get the right temps IE 5000k-6500k for veg and 2700-3500k For flowering. Get a powerstrip and a few of the those things that let you plug a bulb right into a lite socket. poke holes in the top and attach the power strip to the top with zip ties. you will also want to poke wholes in the sides for air flow. You now have nice little self contained grow box.


Once you run this with your choice of soil and nutes you can then expand and expairament.


My only suggestion for starting small is I have seen way to many first time growers go balls to the walls and up way over thier heads so fast they end up with hermies or worse yet killing thier entier grow. A nice hydro or areo system even for just a few plants can run with lites and everything from 500$-3,000$ not the kinda money I would wana spend on my first try imo.

This is by no means a cheap hobby.But the rewards you feel are worth every cent! The first link you have here Is perfect bro.it has everything you need except for growing medium and pots.If you want to do a DWC grow you can use a tote with net pots or you could do single buckets.Its really up to you.Bendbrewer mentioned rdwc (recirculating) I dont use a pump in mine I just do dwc its real easy an all you need is hydroponic nutrients an air pump and airstones some net pots and hydroton and your set.

so basically if i went for the first link then all i would need is the seeds an some decent sized pots?

as said if i did in buckets id have 2 wait untill i board my loft out for the space as kids dont go up there if i put a tent in the corner of my room (where i could nicely fit a 1.2 x 1.2 tent) then all they would see is the tent an know not to go near it if they ever have 2 go in my room

then yes all you need is a GOOD quality soil.I hear good things about fox farm brand.and something to start your seeds in like solo plastic cups(its wat i use)make sure to cut slits for drainage. then 3 gallon pots to move to and your set bro.good luck and post pics of progress!

Yeah this is the best site ive found.alot of folks recomend fox farm nutrients or jacks classic.I do hydroponics so I use different nutes so i cant comment on them.I just know NEVER use miracle grow soil or nutrients! its shit! there all salt and lock your plants up.Ive tried them and failed each time then i made my own soil mix and the plant grew awesome(turned out to be male :( ) but it grew great.but i hear good things about fox farm their the most mentioned on this forum by far.good luck to you

Now that's some solid advice right there Bra. After you decide how and start thinking what, may I suggest you look into dwarf autos. I think it would work out well for ya in a small area.

dwarf autos??

and yes will start small with about 4 plants and know somewhere im gonna fail but thats all part of the learning experience
not fail as in not grow but may fail on one plant or a couple somewhere along the line my aim is 2 get 4 plants grown properly then when fully confident think about more
