I think SH is a good place. I have ordered parts and the fog cloner. Still working with it. The thing about the bubbleponics is this. In a test run on one we started off good. Everything growing right for a few weeks. Then all growth stopped. A few more weeks and we were dismayed nothing but tiny bonsai. After 5 weeks we took it apart only to find out that the tap roots that were forming had grown into the 1/4 inch drip pipes inside and was blocking almost all the water but staying alive. That is why the rockwool has the wrapper around it. If the roots break through it's all over. When we get a chance to try again the drips should be brought into the top of the netpots and it should run fine. A simple dwc unit is just as good.

If you are just starting and can not build for yourself it's not a bad price but I could build 2 tubs for your closet and meters (cheap) PH up and down and nutrients to start with and the light with maybe an electronic ballast for under that.
