I suggest buying the book "How-to Hydroponics". You can find it on Amazon.com for under $20. This book has most of what you need to know on growing Hydro/Aero and includes several DIY plans complete with parts lists.
I built a double bucket Aerospring for my first grow. It cost me about 50 bucks for the parts to build it including the water pump. My plants are in there sixth week from seed and range from 20 to 24 inches tall and very dense under a 400w MH. I am cloning and will be switching to HPS when the clones reach 14" in a couple of weeks.
 
find a shop that sells your irrigation equipment like piping misters drippers etc. online or ussually hardware store, figure out how big you wana do it, like a bucket, a tub, or goin bigger,

READ UP ON NUTES AND WATER, and especially how to measure/monitor them, AND being able to adjust them is a good skill which you need certain chemicals to do.

Read up on other peoples grows and look at how they have done it, there are many different methods and techniques bla bla

could make something so f,ing complicated but otherwise if its small time its pretty simple once you figure out the key components.

i dont have $20 to spend on a book, i pay for internet :)

thanks anyway, i found one.
:dunce:Wow! You really do want it cheap! Well here's the cheapest way I can think of.
Go to your local grocery store (you know, the one within walking distance) and get a big free paper bag. Then start knocking on your neighbors and friends doors (remember, the ones within walking distance)(we don't want to waste any money on gas to drive anywhere) and tell them exactly what you want to do. Maybe between them all there will be enough free spare parts and plans to build your system.

:eyesmoke:I know it's an old post but, I just couldn't resist.

Cheapest way to do it?!? Go to your backyard, a field, or a park or whatever.. Remember to take a cup.. Fill it with dirt take a gallon jug for some water outta the gutter and you got your self an all nutural set up for nearly free. If you want it to water automatically and you doing hydro, NO MATTER WHAT, you will need a timer, a water pump and nutrients AT LEAST, you could probably get all this for about 50 bucks if your a smart shopper ;)
