thanks alot for the input i spaced out about this lol, my only problem is that i dont understand some of the stuff your talking about, here they are:

hydroton?
TDS/EC?
how to maintain a hydro system?
how often do i add nutes?
does this run 24/7 ?
can i use this for veg and flowering?

edit:
n is this pretty much a bucket with a water line in/out then an air stone to make bubbles underneath your roots?.....

i have NO exp with hydroponics
