Hydro drip system Help

OK i fixed the lights so far no more reptile light and now 4 23w CFL.
1/2 way to HPS
reservoir outside tank
ph - 5.6
air temp - ?Unknown just fixed lights?
water temp - 75
light on timer on at 10AM to 4AM
waters for 30min at 10:30am waiting to see how long until dry to set more

i know everyone thinks that tearing it down would be the best idea but its working so far id like to grow until it dies which by the way you guys are talking shouldn't take long. is there anything else you guys can help with?

I don't get what you mean by "trying to HPS" and "1/2 way to HPS". Your system looks kinda rigged to me but I don't really understand whats going on in the picture either because it looks like its in a computer case or something. If I were you, I'd just set up a DWC system, but I really want to know what you mean with the HPS talk.

Don't give up, I like your system because its cheap, already set up, and in theory will work. As you grow this gather everything you will need for a DWC. If you take your time you can get some cheap equipment. Your already half way there, use Craigslist for free buckets and grow boxes and aquarium setups people want to get rid of. Ive seen perfect grow boxes for free on there.

The cfls are good. The temp will good with the cfls.
And you will probably need a bigger piece of rock wool, those are cheap. You can get a larger piece that has a hole dug into it. You put your old piece into the new one. A cover to keep the light off the rock wool would help also. The roots will grow into the new piece and fill it up.
Make sure you flower early if you don't have much vertical space.
Have Fun

1/2 way to hps means he has half the money it takes to buy one, which means trying to (get) hps.

will this work if i build it in a smaller bucket i don't have much room for this and i cant have light shine out of my wall because my parents cant see it
DWC Grow setup

do you have any better setups?

Stop. Don't grow in your parents house without them knowing. They pay the bills, they take the rap if security is compromised. Have some respect and get your own place in your own name if you want to grow cannabis. Otherwise, tell them about it. You won't be able to hide it forever anyways.
