A DIY Bubbleponics System, MOST PARTS CAN BE FOUND AT WALMART:
You need an underwater pump, a submersive pump, 150 gph to 250 gph.
Walmart, Lowes, and Home Depot have the pumps. It is a small cheap pump like they use on water fountains in the home or yard.
It sits in the bottom of the tank, under water, here are a few examples:
DuraPump Water Pump - 185 gph
DuraPump Submersible Water Pump - 185 gph
Do an Internet Google Search to find, or go to Lowes, Home Depot, or Walmart
DuraPump Water Pump - 240 gphDuraPump Submersible Water Pump - 240 gph
Price: $22.99
Zoom View 250 gph Ryobi Universal Water Pump
$17.97/EA Each from Home Depot
You also need a Irrigation Hub, also called an Irrigation Manifold. Many different ones can be found.
DiG Six Outlet Irrigation Manifold DiG Six Outlet Irrigation Manifold
Price: $12.99 420Budman showed us one that Lowes has, he said:
The brand name is MISTER LANDSCAPER. It is in the DRIP IRRIGATION section (even says "drip irrigation" on the package), the technical name for it is PVC SPRINKLER ADAPTER (that is on the package too), the item# is 191779, and the model# is MLA-RA9, and the cost is $10.73. My local Lowes had about 9-10 of them in stock.
Rain Bird Landscape Dripline System 2.0 GPH Manifold #MANIF2-1PK
Available at Bizrate.com, Amazon.com, and Home Depot for $4.99 to $5.99
$6.47 at Walmart
You connect that Irrigation hub or Irrigation Manifold to the pump, and run 1/4 plastic tubes from the hub to each grow cup, to look like this:
You can use an 8 gallon tote as seen in above pic, (with 6 gallons of water) or a 5 gallon bucket, with 4 gallons of water. $11 when not on sale at Walmart, have seen them for $8.00
You need an AIR PUMP from Walmart:
$12.99 for Dual Air Pump, or two airstone connections
VERY Quiet, $9.95 to $19.95, depending on size.
Any place that sells Aquariums has them, like PetCo, Pet Smart, and Walmart. They will have the airpumps and tubes and airstones.
There are 6, 8, 10 and 12 inch long airstones for aquariums, like this one:
Airstones are $3.99 to $5.99 depending on lenght.
You can also find round ones, and long AIR DIFFUSERS that make large curtains of air bubbles in the tank.
BUBBLEPONICS, taking aeroponics to the next level...
Bubbleponics is the art of delivering highly oxygenated nutriently enriched water DIRECTLY to the inner root zone. The days of merely misting the outer roots with nutrient spray are over. Gone too are the days of over/under watering, over/under feeding; the Stealth Hydro Bubbleponic System automatically maintains the ideal oxygen level of the nutrient solution so as to facilitate a healthy thriving root system.
By adding Additional Oxygen, via bubbles, and nutrients to each grow cup, in a slight trickle (not a solid flow) You do not need a timer on the feeding tubes, and the cube or root base will not drown as is possible in a DRIP System.
As the water in the tank BUBBLES, that Bubbley water is pumped to each cup, creating the most rapid growth rate a young sprout or clone can experience.
Look at the dates of these pics, at the growth rate. Also notice the small runts started the same day in soil.

This is the opposite of the OP's intention, but I want to warn everybody about their "expert gardener" organic soil. I figured I'd give it a try since it's cheap. It clearly says on the label that it is not for container use. I thought if I mixed in about 40% perlite it might be ok. I was very wrong. Maybe someone with a greener thumb than me could use this stuff, but my plants HATE it.
The MG organic potting soil I tried wasn't too bad, but I think I will stick to promix.
Great thread so far. Roseman, +rep for being so specific.

Yeah but MG sucks, so I'd throw it out and go for something else, they are far from organic anyway.

I got these trick or treating bags @ Target for $0.14 each. There was a metal wire inside to hold the shape that i took out. I cut off the haldles. I also ended up making 4 cuts and folding the sides down a little bit for watering purposes.

Ya i think they were temp stressed. I'm a noob and was keeping the temp around 70 with the lights on. I think that might be why the leaves are funny looking. Maybe i watered wrong? who knows. This is my 1st grow.
