Need help with pc grow hydro set up

Hello everyone im a complete noob with the growing marijuana side of things, I smoke a lot and I have always wanted to grow but stealth is a huge factor for me. I recently stumbled upon THE PC GROW I know there are many cons (not enough space, hardly any yield) but im not looking to grow tons of weed just some personal would do and the hobby of just growing. I have seen one that comes with the hydro setup DWC with pump airline and airstone. I know hydro isnt the best to attempt for a newbie like me so im open to suggestions about not using the hydro equipment and going for soil in my pc grow room. Basicly what im looking for is a step by step growing guide to grow in a pc case. I have done tons of reading but cant find any guides to growing inside the case just ones that show you how to build them. I know the growing process is obv the same but I find things hard to understand but if I had a step by step guide designed for growing with a pc It would make things clearer for me. Does anyone know if there are any step by step instructions from germinating to harvest with a pc and also how to use the hydro setup that it comes with beacause on the websites they claim you just add seed and water and it does the rest for you which I find hard to believe

Growing in a pc case is no different from growing anywhere else really. Just smaller. That is pretty much the only difference. So you simply veg for a shorter period, an then flower, or jsut flower from seed/clone. Read up on LST (Low stress training) as it will be quite beneficial inside of a computer case.

Growing cannabis can be as complicated as you decide to make it. I have a few friends who do exactly that, they know absolutely nothing about cannabis , or growing, but they've just hcucked a seed into some soil in a pot in their window sill, added water straight out of the tap, didn't even bother PH'ing or adding nutrients, and they both got a harvest. Not a great one, but a smokable one none the less.

Hydro is in reality incredibly simple once you've done the first run and you aren't so nervous about what you are doing, the reason for new growers to avoid hydro is that everything can go wrong soooo much faster than in soil, other than that it's a pretty darn simple method of growing.
 
ok thanks I think im gonna go with hydro becuase I dont have the time to build one so Im buying a pc grow setup which comes with the hydro kit so I may aswell use it plus you can learn alot from trial and error. I think im gonna use the lucas formula heres one I found

week 1 plain water veg
week 2 0,8 ml micro , 1,2 ml bloom veg
week 3 1,6 ml micro , 2,4 ml bloom veg
week 4 1,6 ml micro , 2,4 ml bloom end of veg

week 1 1,6 ml micro , 2,4 ml bloom
week 2 1,6 ml micro , 2,4 ml bloom
week 3 1,6 ml micro , 2,4 ml bloom
week 4 2,4 ml bloom 1 ml pk 13-14
week 5 2,4 ml bloom 1 ml pk 13-14
week 6 2,4 ml bloom 1 ml pk 13-14
week 7 plain water
week 8 plain water

for instance lets say on week one it says 1.6 ml micro and 2.4 bloom does this mean you only have to add that once on that week and does the nutrients get added into the dwc reservoir

I have been doing a pc grow for my first grow and let me tell you that space is definitely at a premium. LST will be your ultimate friend as I have my plant twisted on itself about 2 times over. Also, I fim'd my plant so I could get it to be more bushy. I vegged for probably about 4 weeks which I kind of think is too long for such a small space. My bubbleponic setup has gotten me quite a nice looking plant with a decent size. Make sure when using bubbleponic or hydro you PH everything as not to kill your plant, it will become second nature to you once you start. Good luck and ease into full strength nutrients so you don't have problems.
