I’d like to grow standard photoperiod seeds. Might try to create a new strain via breeding one day.

I helped my friend a couple times with his soil grows. I just bought a LED light, that’s it.
I’m hoping hydroponic or aeroponic can help me avoid the labor of creating the water mix for the plants so frequently.
Welcome to 420Magazine my friend
So nice to have you here.
Looking forward to seeing your garden.
Take care.

Welcome to the group. A lot of members willing to provide help and suggestions. Plus several different sub-forums and there is one for hydroponic and maybe even aeroponic methods of growing.
Those two methods are supposed to give the best amount of dry weed after drying the harvest and often in less time than the traditional soil grow methods. I find those methods fascinating and have researched them and followed many of the newer ways of growing with the hydro and aero fine points. But, they require constant attention and fine-tuning of the methods.

Welcome to 420mag mate your definitely came to the right place!Happy growing
True Aeroponics uses high pressure and atomizing nozzles to create a fog of nutrient solution that coats and then runs off the roots and recycled. Most aeroponic systems you see that are advertised for cloning are actually sprayer systems that are more akin to nutrient-film technique than aeroponic. True aeroponic is more expensive to implement and maintain as well, because of the high operating pressures. The pseudo aero/NFT systems do work well, though.
There are some great how-to videos, such as "I Grow Chronic", a set of 9 videos and complete instructions to set up an ebb & flow system. With ebb & flow you can use a large reservoir which needs maintenance less often. Other popular methods with 420 gardeners are deep water culture, and the hybrid hydro/soil method, Sub-Irrigated Planters. Drip systems are yet another method that works with soil and soilless grows.
I'd also like to recommend texts on the subject by Howard Resh, a hydro guru with many years of research in the field. And of course, 420 Magazine! There are VOLUMES of info and lots of active, helpful, hobby and commercial growers.
Welcome to 420 you found the right place.

Welcome to the grow fam! Hydroponics and aeroponics are legit ways to grow your green babies. Hydroponics is like pampering them in a water spa, while aeroponics is all about misting those roots. Both offer killer control and faster growth

I've been growing in hydro since the late nineties. Tried most systems. Started with top fed Wilma system way back, DWC, flood tables, Aero and Coir.
Current cycle is in coir. Going to setup the Aero system when I get a better location! HPA. If I were to design a new system I would probably look at AA(Atomizing Aeroponics) instead of HPA.

Hey bro I'm Coco fan also but I'm not sure we've met
Areoponics is not for the impatient or cheap it cost alot to start and always have to be on top of everything never a dull moment. I'm currently using high pressure 1000psi.
Low pressure works pretty good also just need to change the timing. Definitely is worth it once you figure it out

Wow! That’s super high psi. What accumulator tank are you using, or pump?
