[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 8726034, member: 549629"] The traditional school of thought is first time growers should start with dirt, and move on to hydroponics or aeroponics only after they've mastered dirt. This would also give you time to get your enclosure, lighting and ventilation dialed in before tackling hydro. As for growing out seeds until they ***, that can be a tricky task in a state that only allows 6 plants per adult. My for personal consumption system that worked best for me was a mother plant grown for clones, and a separate growing enclosure for the vegging and flowering plants. One mother and 5 clones is what Id do if I lived in Az and was growing. My advice for a first time grower... cleanliness of the growing area. Ideally the growing area is separate from your living space. I even changed to clean/quarantined clothes before entering the growing space. And closely inspect any new plant/clone you bring into the growing space. If you ever get spider mites, you will understand why Im telling you this. This is a lot of work, but much less work than trying to eradicate spider mites once you've got them. Also if you haven't already, you should consider a filtration system for the ventilation.
