Of those 2 if you have the $600 get the ebb n grow bucket setup. Its simpler to use has many sites and can be added onto.

do it yourself . if you want to spend $600 i will build it for you and mail it to you. $300. it only cost me $50 and thats with a water pump and spray heads.

this is the first one i built. well this is the cloner i dont have pics of the one used for veggin. same thing. with less heads, and deeper tote.

i did not like the one above because the plants where to close together. now if you keep them small. 2' - 3' tall you would be fine. but i vegged the first one 5 weeks. so i use this.

bubbleponic systems are not well thought out. I have the 6 plant model and I will be building my own next time. There is no way you could actually put 6 plants into the one I have. The space is way too small for 6 plants. Not only that, but you throw 6 root systems, an air stone or two, a pump hooked to a plastic hose hooked to a diverter that turns 1 hose to 6 hoses that are all supposed to go into each of these buckets... well you get the point. Changing the water for 1 -2 plants sucks, and changing 6 would be impossible. Not to mention the res doesnt hold enough water in my opinion.

Bubbleponics is ok... but you would be WAY better off just building something yourself.

I do like the other system that you have up there.

Do not go with Stealth Hydro....I have one...yes it works.....but everytime I check on my plants I feel like punching myself in the face for spending the money on it. I could go to home depot and build the entire thing for 30 bucks in about 25 minutes. I even bought their fluorescent ballast for 199, which is such a piece of shit. I will never buy from them again and always post about their crappy products and horrible customer service.

Both them thangs look purty spooky to me. Get yourself about 6 or 7 Hempy Buckets. I have been studying all this stuff dilligently and have decided that is the only way to fly. If the Ruskies knock out the power grid tomorrow a person can still have a little green coming to the top. I mean if they strike all you got to do is set em outside as far as I can tell. Or..if you lived out in the country you could set em outside anyway. If the Riskies do attack I mean who is gonna be overly concerned with a bit of medicinal hemp culture? Simple huh? There just aint no exucse I can see to do it different. Now will admit I look at things one sided sometimes.

you are 100%right if I remember correct the hempy bucket was originally supposed to be a way to do hydyo outdoors... works like a charm wish I had found it before I built a dwc or bought an aerogarden

Well think you could get at least some of these various techniques to work in unison. Sprout your seeds in AG..move em to the buckets...and/or the DWC..which really I think is a larger version of AG...or it could also be smaller if a person had a mind to do it. Shallow water culture perhaps? But if a person had enough room they could get em all in the propa frame of reference. All it take is nice big or small heated barn with hot and cold running water...gas and elec service..and a coupla of oil wells to afford all this stuff. Fella could move to Jamaica and peddle Ganga if they had this kinda of expenditures to grow a little rope.
