Ok, so I've been looking at that. I'm a bit confused though as the seller told me that you don't fill it up like a dwc, only the res and then let the drip. Well, would that be as efficient or should I save all the hassle and just do a straight DWC? I just don't see maybe if it'd be beneficial to have it drip and then what does the water pump do with hardly any water and the roots not big enough to reach it?

Any opinions are appreciated, I'm noob. (case ya can't tell)

Yeah that is WAY too expensive. Plus it's in one rez, so you're going to get root lock if you grow big. Look for my DWC tutorial to come sometime this week. Everything you need to know about $25 per plant (without lights, nutes, etc.. just the DWC setup.)

Well theres x2 of everything. Its one 35gal res for 8 plants each. and adjustable nozzles so you can control how much nutes/water each plant gets. not sure if that makes it any better but thats what I was told, a bit skeptical which is why I'm here! but then again. it is one of the better ones I found, I don't have a drill or any of that jazz to make my own or I would, and I'm kinda in the middle of no where

try individual buckets to start with, then if something goes wrong it might not affect all your plants. make them yourself, fucking about with "level guage tubes is a wast of time" they just get full of green algae and you cant see fuck all, but a colar around the hule for the mesh pot is a good idea it protects your roots when you check them and the nute level because your clear guage tube is full of green muck. i think a guy called lost had a post about them on anither site.

The closest hydro store to me is a couple hours away. I order everything from the internet, like most growers of today. We have to.. unless you got a grow shop close by.

No drilling or anything, just a need for one small hole in the bucket to squeeze your air line through. Hell you can do that with a small knife and determination.

good point, I actually found one place downtown that has a decent store for buckets and stuff, so what your saying is just do an individual pot / nute solution according to how it reacts to it (accordingly) and run a air pump with air stone in each bucket & voila? that does sound a lot easier.

That's exactly right. You can get net pot lids for buckets to make it really easy.

Get a small water pump i run mine to avoid slime. Keeps the water circulation nice~ roots seem to like it but def not needed
