In the grow log section there's a thread of mine called stinky's adventures in noob hydro or something and there's a parts/prices list in there somewhere.
You can easily modify that system to ebb n flow but the containerized NFT shown is quite forgiving. And you can get away with a MUCH smaller reservoir... nice if you are upstairs or away from your water source. I designed it with help from the hydro shop guy to be CHEAP, easy to build AND decommission, fit in the trunk of a small car, and be hard to screw up.
Panda Film is a hydro shop item.
At minimum you'll need tubing, a pump, a res, pots, media, nutes, and a catch tray. You can use a underbed storage bin for a catch tray (not the wheeled type!) and a 5 gallon pail for a res if you go NFT but you'll need something much larger for ebb n flow.
With a containerized NFT you depend on the POTS to provide lightproofing- you can put your whole net thing into a gallon pot with ore hydroton, plop it on a catch tray, and away you go.
I have been very happy with Canna Aqua nutes as being super noob friendly and giving a lovely tasting product. My buddy doesn't even flush his, lol, and it's the best herb I have personally ever seen/smoked. He's been growing... a year. lol~
