first steps into hydroponics

[skutter]

I'm in the process of researching hydroponics. Most of the stuff I come across on internet searches deals with growing canabis - this ISNT why i want to grow stuff hydpronically.

The first project is to build a table top system for growing fresh kitchen herbs through the darker winter months so will incorporate a some lighting as well.

Not 100% sure on what style of system I'm going to build.

I've already found out what lighting i need for the area in terms of Watts per sqft.

I'm trying to find out information on the sizes of reservoir I could use for the different systems- I have yet to come across a formula for calculating this, but appreciate it will depend on a) what system i intend to build and b) what i intend to grow - which in this first attempt will be herbs.

If anyone has this information or can suggest anywhere to look/read up on it. I would be very grateful.

Hi skutter and welcome!
If you search this forum for "hydroponics" you'll find numerous people who want to know more about it but very few who actually use this method.
Growing a few herbs indoors under lights - but in pots would do the job too.
