I think you want the bubbles in the bucket to splash the bottom of the cube or something like that.

RDWC to me is the best way to go. You will need to clean the rezzz
Also since you are new never never use straight tap water.... the chemicals will keep the micros from developing on the roots... Very bad thing you will be doing more
damage then good.
RDWC can be made very cheap...
The simpler the better
But also
BAD THING with any rez or hydro
If you need to move it fast...landlord,parents, cops or whatever..... soil is the way to go. If you move the roots in hydro you better be fast... but most likely some if not all will go into shock and done.
Just my 2cents
I wont be moving it all! all legal here! It seems that after the initial set up a RDWC is a little easier to maintain maybe..? like to change the rez, you just change one big container, instead of 24 individual buckets, I think right?
Fair enough I don't really know. Each harvest might be frequently enough for that type of system.
I got one thing to say to you guys ...........coco and hesi coco nutrients , thank me when you harvest .
i agree with alot of whats been said... definately hydro... water farm or simple dwc buckets.... personally i love the perpetual harvest... i have 8 girls in flower room... 2 plants growing 2 weeks apart giving a harvest every 2 weeks... under 1000 watts ( 600w and 400w bulbs) averaging 3 / 5 zips per plant... but the thing i would have changed would be growing only 2 strains ( I always bought from the pick and mix section of attitude and used to get really excited about the free seeds, but growing 4 or six plants all different strains that grow at different rates and heights and different flowering lenghts is a huge and unnessary pain in the arse ... id prob go for indica dominant aswell.... as sativas in hydro end up monsters that can be hard to handle... now, i dont work just now and spend a rediculas amount of time in my grow room... at least 2 hours every day plus 4-6 hours trimming every 2 weeks.... ive only been growing for 2 years properly and beeen lucky in that iv had no real fuck ups except a couple of hermies...my advice would be do one grow of say 4 plants and use that as your learning curve, you should be able to set that up for 600 quid easilly, by the time your half way through, start thinking about upgrading...also i did a little math for you and 3 600 watt lamps in the flowerroom is gonna cost you about 1000 bucks per 60 day bill... thats before you add fans extractors and your veg lamps etc which would add another maybe 200 bucks depending on wattage of lamps fans etc.... Oh yeah... and once you find your fave straign .... clones are the way forward.... my strains (for selling) just now are ak 48 and great white shark and also a couple of strains just for me (super lemon haze and blue dream) Anyway... thats my lot.... good luck with your grow..... Oh and keep good records... i use diary's and a wall year planner and write down every thing and work ahead of my self and write reminders for the future diary ( flush ak 48 today etc) Oh and flushing.... I flush my girls 3 times... once 2 weeks into flowering and once again 2 weeks before end of flowering and then again just before dark peiod just before harvest... appologies about spelling grammer but i bee stoned as a motherfucker just now.....
PEACE
