The easiest would probably be Hempy Buckets or DWC. If you live in the place where the closet is you could even do soil, since watering by hand wouldn't be a problem. If you use co2 your closet needs to be sealed, and the system needs to be set up so that the co2 goes off when your ventelation comes on.

I think Mr.Green can help you. Similar set up and step by step instructions.

Why do you need an air stone for a drip system?

Hey Pax, that is algae growing from too much moisture and light on it. You can get rid of it by cutting it down an inch or so to cut off that algae. Try to cover the rockwool from the light too and make sure the rockwool is not too wet. :peace::mrgreen:
