Dirt is easier to manage and a cheaper start than hydro.. if going hydro plan to invest at least $1000 in a setup, more if more plants.. you needa LOT more stuff simply.
Don’grow autos for your first grows, autos are in fact not a beginner friendly plant cause the clock is always ticking. Photo period feminized seeds will let you mess up and learn on your way to first harvest. Be happy if you get anything from first harvest, saying that you absolutely can yeild a nice crop if patient and open to learning. A few photo periods will also .etc you try different things with them. Autos are for when you get good and want a simple plant, not 1st grow. Imo
