I have one hydroponic light but can't afford another but I do have a very nice sun lamp made by Sperti used for giving humans a suntan (model # DEL SOL).

I've done some research on the subject but never came out with a definitive answer.

Because of this post you should expect to be under surveillance by the DEA.

Makes no difference if you are growing Pot or Veggies. You should invest in a MH and HPS bulb. One for vegging and one for producing fruit.

You should use a GOOD QUALITY SOIL MIXTURE. Make your own for the best results. Use some peat, soil, perilite, batshit, seaweed, goatshit, sand and mix it up and place it into beds.

Use GOOD QUALITY WATER.

Use B1 nutrient for starting the plants. When they are starting to produce fruits or veggies use more B1 nutrients.

Make sure to flush your veggies before harvest or you will taste the ferts.

Not like I grew mary or anything but.......

Hydro is good but ORGANIC SOIL IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. I swear I could make a ton of money going around showing people how to grow a garden in their house.
