give me an idea what kind of costs we're talking about for HP aero? for maybe 4 plants?
Aeroponic or bubbleponic? ?

Need high pressure pump, I bought a RO booster pump, you should have a pressure tank to limit pump cycling, chiller of some sort, I use passive loops under ground so no good in summer
. Cycle timer for spray timing. I spent $250 on pump and tank, that's Canadian so probably $25 US lol. I have lots of the cheap nozzles but for HP I think you need something better to get water droplet size to 50 microns (I believe, it's been a bit since I researched it). Also not sure what I've spent on CO2 but probably $359-400 for everything including linear controller, I use the bottles and reg for welding now lol.

too funny! thanks for the info budley
My complete hpa setup cost about the same as Budley`s pump and tank. It can handle the equivalent of three 8x4 chambers so it may not be worth it for just 4 plants 
AA uses less hardware than HPA, in its simpliest form its just a nozzle, solenoid, cycle timer and air compressor. The main drawback for AA is its not easy making it immune to power outages but it can be done. If you have a river at the bottom of your yard you can generate the compressed air for free

you need the following:
1. a bucket with lid ->https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/100167/GROW-HG3G.html?utm_source=SmartFeedGoogleBase&utm_medium=Shopping&utm_term=GROW-HG3G&utm_content=3+and+5+Gallon+Buckets&utm_campaign=SmartFeedGoogleBaseShopping&gclid=Cj0KEQjw09C5BRDy972s6q2y4egBEiQA5_guv_6M4rhnZ7qht-2A64aWg0My1tnTGax7ELSk46TkqHAaAmsA8P8HAQ
2. neoprene inserts ->https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/91898/GROW-EZCNI.html?utm_source=SmartFeedGoogleBase&utm_medium=Shopping&utm_term=GROW-EZCNI&utm_content=EZ+Clone+Accessories+and+Parts&utm_campaign=SmartFeedGoogleBaseShopping&gclid=Cj0KEQjw09C5BRDy972s6q2y4egBEiQA5_guv7ic2XXbrFs8SiWTPqHgt1kQY64MQdJAq5KkdVNP5RsaAvY98P8HAQ
use a hole saw and cut holes in bucket lid for 2" collars.
3. a pump and clone spinner connected with some pvc and ingenuity. ->http://www.horticulturesource.com/product_info.php?products_id=17198&gclid=Cj0KEQjw09C5BRDy972s6q2y4egBEiQA5_guv_z6pAIXKObHEVlZ0g54w-uTWAUAfNzR6bFX7NHjUcgaAo8N8P8HAQ

Install the clone spinner on the drilled out end cap of a pvc cap. install that on a few inches of pvc pipe. connect to pump with an adapter. put pump at bottom of bucket. run power line out one of drilled holes in lid. plug in the pump put the lid on, put cuts in the collars and keep the water cool, lght low, and be patient and you will have roots in 7 days. peace

He`s not going to finish 4 plants in a 3gal bucket
If you want a cheap dedicated aeroponic cloner.
1. Grab a cheap planter, rig up a lid and cut a pool noodle into pucks.
2. Hook your mains water supply up to a 12v solenoid,
3. Equip that with a single misting nozzle and control it with a 12v cycle timer.
Run it to waste so every misting uses fresh, cool water.
The one in the pic delivers 75psi to the nozzle and uses about 0.75L of water per day, a tad less than 1.4 us gallons per week.
2 seconds of mist
