Simplistic, yet great hydro system.
Can you please suggest one? I want to try hydro, even aeroponics, but I'd rather get a feel for hydro before dabbling into that sort of thing. What is a simple hydro system that will teach you what you need to know? 1000watt light, 4x4 grow space. SOG most likely.

Yes, I say it at least once a day. Emily's Garden. Run it through a search engine, then buy it for $85 or something, or build it for $35. This system is incredibly simple, and produces amazing results with little effort. Absolutely f-ing great for beginners. I think you could fit two in a space like that and do sog, which I highly recommend. Even better do Scrog while your at it. Of course for sog you will need two lights not one. Probably two 400 watters, one MH, one HPS.

DS - I think what Opie is suggesting is that you have a MH bulb for vegging and an HPS for flower. If you get a digital or switchable ballast, you can use either bulb with the same ballast.
I use 1,000 watts per 4'x4' area and it works great!  PC

Hmm, Emilys garden System looks preety good but would you be able to fit six plants in there? Or would you have to transplant to bigger containers?

You can build an Ebb and Flow system in like 15 minutes with about $25 (not including a pump).

I used an Emily's Garden before and the plants will be a bit crowded, unless you are growing shorties. The tray is 24 in x 16 in and it only holds a total of 2 gal of nutes. I wrote a thread on how to build a bubbler which is nearly identical to Emily's Garden but you can choose the number of net pots and it hold approx 5-6 gal of nute solution.. in other words it is more forgiving since there is more solution.
BUILD YOUR OWN BUBBLER LINK In the thread above I have 6 net pots, but I only used 4 max, and the 2 empty spots I left in the middle, filled with hydroton to prevent light into the res. It make checking and adjusting the solution a breeze - just lift out a pot, set it on top of the other middle one, adjust and replace.

I would go with Deep Water Culture. or short way to say it is DWC.
and this is just about how it works.as I was told and it has worked this way for me good. so the plants will roots hang down in the water. and the air bubbles comming UP from the airstones will give the roots oxygen thus makeing the plant grow. U will put the 2-10 air stones in the bottem of UR water bucket. eze wat is to do it juss like in the first pic.

If you are interested in seeing an Emily's Garden grow in progress, I'm doing a temporary DWC while I'm doing a grow room remodel. You can even see one I made myself.
LSTTT: Low Stress Twisty Tie Training I've not had a problem with them being too crowded, but I scrog. I actually grow 8 now in the same space I used to grow 6 with the Emily's Garden.

You might want to consider coco. Coco is considered a hydroponic medium and uses hydro nutes and hydro techniques, but you don't have all the hydro paraphernalia to deal with.

I use a variation of the Emily system. It was made for me by HIDHut.com. However I only use it as a veg kit, for which it is perfect because when they become crowded they get switched to individual 5 gal buckets.

Stinky's Crash Course in "nOOb Hydro"... Welcome to the Darkside
That's the one I'm running now, totally DIY, and working well so far. It's neat in that you can move the plants around in your SOG as they grow at different rates due to running multiple strains, as I do, or because of differences in light intensity in different spots. And it can be TOTALLY broken down in minutes and stuffed into the trunk of a car. Bonus.

My Folgers DWC Crib for "babies"
A pic of one of my little Daddys Girls....Middle pic shows all the bubbles...I cut the outside edge off the smallest round air stone to fit in the bottom of the container....melted a hole in the side for the air hose to attach....Works like a charm...

Treetops, that is super cool.
Wait until you get those Daddys Girls flowering. I was shocked at how grapefruity they smell. OMG. I can't wait to try out that strain!!!

Treetops, very inventive. Cool air stone.
I would pull back that light a little for the first week or two.

And you cannot do sog or scrog (which I highly recommend) with one light. With both styles, you have separated veg and bloom areas, with one light in each, hopefully MH for veg and HPS for bloom.

One thing you have to realize is that your plants size is going to be limited to the rootball size. Go with a 5 gallon bucket to get maximum results hell you can even go get a 25-30 toy bucket from walmart, the ones with the rope handle, cut some styrofoam to fit the top, cut a hole in the styrofoam and put your net pot in there. I saw some guy grow a 32 oz plant using that setup. Take a look at my log (not updating it anymore) But it shows an easy DWC setup, a bucket a net pot and some tape. After that all you need is an airstone and a pump. I upgraded to solid black buckets recently b/c they are better than just black duct tape.

Treetops, I'm just saying, careful, yesterday I checked a couple of my CFLs with a laser thermometer, and they had spots that were 145 degrees. I wouldn't want something that temp, that close to a struggling seed.
Then again, if aint broke don't fix it. Nice healthy-looking root mass.
