Ok I was planning on trying a hydro setup but my question is if it’s sitting in a bucket of nute water when do you add more nutes? And If you ever change that water out?

There are different methods of hydro. Flood and drain the plants only sit in the nutes when you flood the table. Sounds like you're talking about DWC Deep Water Culture where the plants roots are in some sort of a reservoir all the time. I haven't done DWC in years. There is a subforum for that.

You could look up the kratky method of hydro it’s simple and easy

I'm a big fan of the Kratky style of hydroponics. Messed around with it a good bit last year outside with some veggies and some cannabis, worked pretty nicely for all plants involved...I've never seen a tomato plant grow faster.

On the krarky can I use the same nutes I’ve been using or do I have to use a certain kind? Because from what I can gather you don’t change the nutes at all

Pretty much any hydroponic nutrient you want.

Ok I’ve tried the DWC method until I can figure the other one out. My question is is this too much water? It’s literally bubbling out of the hydroton clay pebbles, I have one seed in some stonewool, 5 gallons of distilled water. One air pump with a air stone

You will love the power of hydroponics, once you go hydro you won´t go back....

When I run my RDWC or my bubbler buckets, I will change the solution in the system every 2 weeks. I will monitor pH and ec to see if I'm feeding them enough but usually just add water to top off between dumps. My neighbor just keeps adding full strength solution and never drains-her weed smokes like it too.

My question is that too much water? and I guess I should have washed my clay pebbles too.

Yes too much adhere to what gbauto said I use to run mine about a inch from the net pot.
