Hi Amnesiasixx and welcome to forum, 

 

 

In the different rooms of the forum, you can find diaries of cultivation, where all techniques are used. Hydro, coconut, land....

The Hydroponic culture stands out for being realized using only water as substrate medium.

 

 

Cheers

Hydro  (or hydroponics) generally refers to growing methods where soil is not used as the growth medium for the roots. 

 

There are variations within the general term "Hydroponics". They are "Drip onto Rockwool", Ebb-and-Flow" (also called "Flood and Drain"), "Bubble-ponics", "Aeroponics" (which does use the movement of misted water to feed the roots) and "Coco" is also lumped into the hydroponics world, since the coco itself has no nutrients for the roots and it must have a constant or semiconstant stream of feeding water for it to work (similar to Rockwool).  There may be other variations by other names, and new variations yet to be invented.

 

You can google or youtube any of the words above "in quotation marks" to learn a lot more about each method.  You can also enter those words into the search engine of this site to find some journals regarding these methods.

 

 

But one of my favorite recommendations for beginners or anyone interested in hydroponics is to suggest viewing on youtube the 6-part series called, "Mr. Green - I Grow Chronic".  Entertaining and informative.  You will want to view it again and again.  Take notes.
