Its really very easy to set up:

Kitty litter bucket filled with perlite, and two PVC elbows for the drain. Drench the perlite and wait for it to stop draining. Then just place a small container (I use the bottom of a laundry detergent container) that holds a quart of so of nute solution and place your pump in it. Put it on a timer so it runs for a just a few minutes several times a day. I just top off the container daily.
It ain't pretty but it works. I have not had any root problems with this setup (knock on wood) for about a year and a half.
My next one is going into an 18 gallon tote. Gonna see if I can get a really big plant this time.

I'm guessing that its the use of regular tap water with chloramine in it that keeps it sterile.

So in your second pic, do you grow them out in those saucer-on-saucers? If so, any media under the top saucer?

nope. I have a 16 inch saucer with a grommet in it with a 14 inch one upside down with holes in it to drain.

Definitely. Especially once those bitches start flowering out big time. Transpiration doubles.

What ratio do you add the micro? I’m about to switch to jacks 321 but my boosters were going to be monoammonium Phosphate, Monopotassium Phosphate, potassium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, & DB sugar.

Nope humics will fuck you in hydro dont use them. The most is actually not needed. The regular hydro blend has enough of it.
