Clearing out my basement for the first grow. Probably will be starting out with 4-8 plants, not sure which strain just yet. Still reading and reading and reading. Problem is... I'm kind of stuck at choosing a grow method.
I see lots of debate between the different types of systems. There are companies selling ready-made (hydro)systems with small reservoirs. Does anybody have a great recommendation for me to grow 20 some odd plants? The faster it can be done, with the least headache, least money invested, all the better. If I can put together a system myself that'll get me going, that works too. Or perhaps a system that I can put together for 4-8 plants that can be expanded upon later?
Order of priority for me:
1. Yield
2. Speed
3. Quality
4. Don't need to check it every day (automation? software?)
5. Money/Cheap (energy efficiency? reliable equipment?)
6. Space
I don't know if I should be messing with aero, hydro, bubble, or organic. I suppose I'd rather veg out a bunch of plants for a much larger yield, if that's how it works
I really wouldn't know how long you can veg them prior to the flower stage, if there's some point when the effort vs return starts to die off?
EDIT: Also, if there's some method or another that works better for low stress testing, let me know. At first glance, this method seems to be best for sprouting more colas?
