very nice, looks like im off to walmart right now to pic up some air stones and a pump so i can throw one of these together and give it a try. I do have a question tho, will there be anyway for me to do this without the ppm meter? also how much one of those meters usaully run?

But thanks for the right up, deff looks like this might be my new setup

Yes bro id reccomend anyone thats going to grow in a bucket to get both a PPM and PH meter. It gives u full control over ur grow.
U should check out Ebay for the best deals because u can actually buy an all in one Ph/PPM meter for real cheap pretty much wholesalers prices.
I paid 120 bux for my PPM meter and i think 35 bux for my PH pen from the dro store so that is WAY overpriced u can find them much cheaper.
If u cant afford the PPM meter get urself a PH test kit or Pen for sure. Thier are many growers here that grow without using the PPM meter but A solid PH is the key. And following ur directions on ur Nute bottles is a must.
Good luck man hope that helps. Start a journal and let me know how everything turns out.
Peace.

FYI - I got a Com 100 ppm/ec meter on amazon.com for $55. Good meter and great price!

Day 3-4 12/12.
Not much to update really. All stats still the same.
Had a few problems like dropping my PH pen in the res lol.
And forgetting to set my timer for my lamp for the first day of 12/12..
Other than that everythings cool. Going to finally do a res change soon as i get the chance they drank 2 gallons in the last 3 days..
Loooking lush.
Enjoy.

Day 7 12/12
Still no real sign of sex keeping my fingers crossed.
Did a res change.
Went 3:1 Bloom to grow.
PPM 1500ish
PH solid 5.8ish
Nothing really all that major to report actually.They are drinking about a gallon a day.
Everythings perfect. Side stems are growing up and some have past the actual tops. Im going to start training the side stems down as soon as i get some time.
Hopefully I see some pistils soon.
Sorry so boring.
Peace.
