Now what i need to know is the pors and cons of it? how many times do i have to flush the water? every 5 days or sooner? any info on bubble bucket experiences and knowledge i would be much thankful

possibly the simplest, cheapest most reliable hydro kit u can make urself in 1/2 an hr

Well pleased with mine. Unfortunately they take up a lot of room - well mine does - so I can't set up the other 3 just yet.
Get urself a ph & ec meter to check daily = very easy to maintain.
Change solution every 2wks (ish)

luscious green growth - faster than my dripper - plus i can't smell the nutrients of this 1. My other set up makes the room smell like a rabbit cage

(it doesn't leak btw - just spilled a bit while i was filling it up!)

yes very easy if you get the ec/ppm and ph meter. I change mine every 10 days. Just one caveat, the ppm meters are calibrated either using .5 or .7 to 1ec, it is important to know this as your readings will be lower for same nuetrient level using the .5 meters.
