That is the medium I prefer and method of hydroponicly growing as opposed to soil. Costs more when you consider the equipment and supplies needed than soil growing... But I like my hydro grown!
After all I've learned and been taught... The best thing I can tell you is to get some good lights and be ready to watch her daily so you don't burn her! Consider using some nutes... I've always used foxfarm grow and bloom. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY!! I aways start them off 1/4 strength after a few weeks and increase up to full strength after every two weeks when I change the resivoir (if growing hydroponicly... but if using soil, chop up the cycle with water when needed, then nutes when needed on a schedule... watch your girl! She'll let you know if she likes it!)
What is you grow set up like? Depending where/how your growing... you are going to definitely want to consider the basics! Fan, Ventilation, Mylar, Timers... and if your wanting to go all out... do you research on here and plan ahead further (cuz tha babies grow so quick!) into CO2, other remedies users also add to their nutes, etc etc... everyone is different, but in the end, they've got delicious dank (drool) buds!
Hope this helped! I'm still a newb with some experiance as I've helped buddies and paid CLOSE attention to what they did and learned every bit I could! Learning from other's mistakes and experiances is priceless! STUDY THE JOURNALS! It'll payoff! PROMISE!
Cheers!
