Hydroponic growing requires quite a knowledge and gardening skills but it's far from beeing inaccessible to the laymen. You just need the right equipment. That is a full set of control units for the climate, the temperature, humidity etc. of your growing room.
A grow tent is the perfect environment for beginners. It provides a defined and enlclosed space in which the climate can be controlled without unexpected interferences from outside.
For this purpose you will need a rather big grow room with more than one squaremeter because if nothing else hydroponics only pay off if you use them for a number of plants.
