what d u recommend to start? What is the most easy?
depends on your specific skill level, if you have never grown a plant in your life, then i would recommend soil, and not going crazy with nutrients until you understand what they all do, and mean, and how they interact with each other. But on the other hand if you have a green thumb already and are anxious to move into cannabis, then I would still recommend soil/coco/inert mediums to mess with. Mary is a fickle girl and she likes her boyfriends to put in the time to get to know her.
I've been running an aquaponic setup for almost 2 months now and its very easy...the drawback is the setup time (establishing your bio-filter and amonia/nitrite/nitrate bacteria) other than refilling the water loss weekly and feeding the fish, there is very little maintenance. I have it set up with a few ghost shrimp, snails, and a handfull of goldfish with some submerged plants in the tank. I have not brought anything into flower so i could not tell you anything about the yeilds related to aquaponics but the cost already has made me a beleiver. ive spent may-be 50$ so far on aquarium stuff and then its like 15$/m for fish food after that basically. and thats vs the 2-300 one might spend on nutrient solutions. The ph has stayed pretty constant, though a tad high, so theres no messing around with that stuff. My girls have only been nested for about 7 days but they are already responding by getting thick green leaves and pushing out the inter-nodes. If you are interested ill be starting up a grow log soonish once it gets more than just a few new girls in the ground

@indicabush
those pictures look pretty awesome, i have a few questions if i may,(if you have a growlog with this info just gimme a slap on the head and point me there sorry).
do you have any extra systems going, like co2, what is your lighting setup?
Have you run into any problems along the flowering process that might not be common knowledge,
and do you use any additives to flesh out the PK numbers in your tank or do you just use natural processes/worms etc
thanks in advance!
