Wanna grow DRO! a few questions

Im wondering about the watering process. I understand not to little or not to much and that size matters but Lets say i have four plants in the vegative stage and at about a month or so of age. (I'll be using a hydro set-up with timers) How often would i water them and how much? Ive studied up and come up with alot of different answers. What i consider my best resource so far says three times a day, but doesn't specify on how long from the time the roots are submerged. I need to know about the flowering stage also. Im also wondering about trimming back the plants leaves, do i need to do this and if so why?
Any help will be appreciated.....TOKE EM UP

the closest I get to hydro is aeroponic cloning, but my experience with water in general is that if you watch your plants semi-regularly they will tell you when to water them. Your climate, conditions, plant size, medium size, etc, will all made a difference in your water needs.

Dude, don't be a lazy ass. Search and browse the forums, there is everything you need to know and more. No body is going to hold your hand through your whole grow

like i said ive done my research, obviously need to do some more but im finding alot of different methods. i dont want anyone to hold my hand, just askin on anyones thoughts that has some experience in growin bud. Not critisism

dont do hydro mate, but there are some good threads on here to check out, good luck...

I thought hydro would be the way to go, what do like about using soil? Just trien to get a different perspective

Hydro is easy but you still haven't said what type you want to do ? Once you find out how you want to grow , it will tell you how often to feed . You need to do a lot more reading on your own so you will understand what you are doing . If I just said three times a day , you will probably have three questions right behind that .

and if you're not a medicinal card holder or some shat I hope you aint using your real name

well i havnt made up my mind on exactly what type but i understand. Ive been lookin over a few different seeds but not sure what i want to start with or should start with as far as that goes. if thats what you meant....

also im plannin on using a cfl for vegative growth. my grow room will only be about the size of a closet, nothin to big about 20 sq feet or so. what kind of wattage should i be using.

more is better with CFLs. You can get away with using a few in the beginning stages of its life but you'll want to invest in more as you progress with your grow. Diversify the spectrum and try to situate them around the plants to compensate for their lack of light penetration. Good luck!

well depends on how many plants you wanna grow/how much money you have to buy equipment etc etc etc give ppl more info an they can give you more help
