I've found my PowerGrower drip unit to work the best,
followed VERY closly by a homemade ebb/flow that can
hold six medium sized plants. The PowerGrower can only
hold one big plant, but that one plant produces a lot.
I paid ~$40 for the PowerGrower and it came with
GrowRox, the pump, and nutrients. A pretty good deal.
The ebb/flow system I build for ~$35 including a small
pump and the flood and drain fittings.
