Welcome pears, you have certainly chosen well with mp. Such a wealth of knowledge here. Is this gonna be your first grow or as you said just your first hydro?
reading and questions to this forum got me a bud of the month my first grow. It was the help from this forum that did that, I just did the manual labor.
this is my first grow, and i started a journal thread to keep track of everything and to ask for help. already i can think of things i forgot to add, hopefully theres an edit feature for newbie users.
