Its quite simple. You put one plant in each bucket using net pot lids filled with your choice of stone or whatever. the bucket bottom acts as a res now you can either do a dwc with just an airstone in the bottom or you can do dwc/drip in which case i would suggest purchasing the waterfarm halo kit. You could just do the drip butt adding the stone does wonders. I started with hybrid drip/dwc but after time found the drip to be useless as all the roots can feed from the res. You prob want pics so if I'm not to lazy I'll get some for you.
