hydro setup costs ?

[kush]

i have a lil experience growing in soil, but none at all with hydro. can someone gimme a simple cost breakdown ? how much would the cheapest setup cost ? talking about hardware only, not nutrients..

[amasseur]

$3-5 gallon bucket
$1-lid for bucket
$.60-4 inch net pot
$20-2 port air pump
$.15/ft-1/8" air hose
$5-4" air stone
$15-10 lb. bag of clay balls
*$20-3" hole saw bit for drill

The hole saw bit is optional but it makes for a really nice hole in the lid and you only have to buy it once. I do use a 3" hole saw for the 4" net pots. It's a perfect fit. It is expensive but well worth it!
The air pump has two ports but if you are only gonna use one port you can plug the other one.

I am not sure about how much the clay pellets cost in a smaller quantity but they are very inexpensive and reusable.

I didn't add it up cause I don't know how many buckets you want. Keep in mind that you need one setup per plant...however you only need one air pump for every two setups.

Happy Growing!!!
