After searching craigslist for a while for a free one, I went to a used appliance dealer.
He had this one in the back lot for parts.
It was already empty of freon.
Nice and clean tho !

I just picked up the General Hydroponics 3 part base nutes, FloraGro, FloraMicro and FloraBloom and will be supplementing with Humbolt's Secret-Golden Tree instead of CannaBoost.
It's ON now !
My wife asked if I am having fun doing all this prep work.
I told her I actually LOVE it!
I like to build things and this is for a great cause
AND I really enjoy sharing the build for some out there that might be looking to do something similar and can get all or most of what they need to know in one place.
When I was looking to do this, I didn't come across a lot of detailed builds. If this helps even one person, then it was worth my time & energy doing it !

I put some foil over the cups.
Looked under the lid into the res and it is DARK where the plants are.
The extra hole plugs/spacers actually let a little light into the res, I'll have to paint them black.
You might be wondering why the plants are all grouped on one side?
It's because one of my brand new grow bulbs took a crap so I put one of the old style back in that I had left from before.
The 2 plants I had on that side were desperately stretching to get to the new bulb, so I moved them.
JUST got a tracking # for the bulb.
Hope it gets here soon so I can get them moved back before the roots get too big to disturb.

I rinsed the GrowStone in a little blue kids wading pool.
Rinsed it over & over again till I got almost all the silt and sediment flushed out.
I filled the baskets with stone and then set them on a layer of stone to allow roots to grow out the bottom.
There will probably always be a little nutrient laying in the tray under the rock layer as the drain has a small lip before the water can run back to the res.
I will have to play with the number of feedings and the duration of each.
Next is to PH a couple gallons of water and flush all the high PH tap water out of the stone
