Growing indoors, you can also use an alternative method to soil by using hydroponics. Hydroponics will make your plants grow much quicker because of the excess of oxygen to the roots, but they are more difficult to manage and the finished product doesn't have the same organic taste. By growing plants in rockwool you will be able to simply transplant them on a larger rockwool cube, eliminating much trauma and shock you may cause the plant in a traditional soil transplant.
In reservoir systems all that is needed are the pots and the medium. In a wick system, wicks are put inside the raised pots. The wick will gather the water to where you place it. The best things to use in a hydroponic systems are rockwool or pre-washed lava rocks mixed with pearlite or vermiculite. You may also want to add dolite lime to your mix. All these soil mixes are great and very hard to over water. You can add your nutrients into every watering and small amounts of hydrogen peroxide may be added as well to kill off algae and other bacteria. Salt and PH level problems may occur and can be cure with a simple flush of the water system.
