Need help picking the right hydroponics set up

I hope your doing a sog if you have 20 plants under 1000w's.

of course lol

Thanks for all your replies! The thing is I don't have all that much vertical space (about 70 " in total) so to put in a table and reservoir in the space (not to mention the water may get a little too warm being in there) I dont know if DWC would still work? Can you still do DWC without having reservoir directly underneath the table?

DWC is nothing really but a bucket, a net pot and an airstone.

oh i meant Ebb n flow sorry

with the ebb/flow i showed you, you can have the res at the neighbor's house if you like.
and you set the buckets right on the floor so it will max out your avail. height.

Oh ok cool. Well I don't quite have 500$ to spend on setup, but I could probably come up with something myself. How does the water return to the reservoir?

No, they don't make their money by you being able to replicate it for $50. But actually I am more worried about the temp inside your space. If you can't keep the water temps below 68 degrees, don't do hydro. Go with soilless and hand water. Otherwise you will definately need a chiller.

yea man. sound's like your gonna be more of a soil man. get some buckets of soil and a light an go like hell.

hmmm ok well thanks for your input.. currently im just running a drip soiless setup kind of thing so I guess ill stick with this i just run water thru like once every two days, but im going to try to figure out a way to deal with temperature to lower it and maybe ill try some later. Soil is just kind of a bitch cause getting all that soil inside blows.

Im sure I could replicate it for 100$, but I was actually just wondering how the water goes back to the reservoir... like a pump or what?
