New house, new grow. After two years of soil based gardening, I'm switching over to hydroponics. Deep water culture is said to be one of the easiest and simplest ways to get into hydroponics so that is the route I decided to go.

I bought a brand new 4x4x7 foot grow tent, inside is a 400w HPS light (plans to upgrade before flower), 4" inline fan/200 CFM for outake, a 6" duct fan for intake, two 4" clip on fans for circulation. This will be the flower room.

Temporarily I have my veg room in a closet, I have a 4' T-5 fixture that has 4 bulbs.

DWC system is four 5 gallon buckets, 10" net pots with both hydroton clay pellets and growstones. An air pump with 4 outlets and 4 airstones.
