I am getting more serious about Hydroponic growing this year and am being sponsored by Canna to do so, they are providing the feed and info and I am making up the equipment. This is my bubble bucket set up, each bin is filled with water with 2 air pipes in the bottom of each. The water is constantly circulating, the Feed is Canna Aqua Vega and I have the EC of the water at 1.0
