Ok so I have been checking out the Aerogarden for about two weeks now and was nearly sold on it until I got in a closed thread on here and seen this link about the bubbleponic
SH Hydroponics, Inc. > Dual Spectrum Bubbleponics™ Complete Kit

All i would like is for everybody to just throw everything you know about the two out there at me so it would make it a bit easier to decide. I have a shelf i will be placing my system on so space is not a problem. Power consumption is something I dont want to over due. Another thing is can somebody recommend the best nutes price wise out there to use from seed to budding? Answers are very much appreciated and i WOULD ABSOLUTLEY LOVE PICS of either of the two systems at work!!!!
THANX FRIENDS!

im not real sure, ive heard of people with really good results the system is pretty self explanatory and easy setup/maintenance. so i mean you might wann try it.

No Aerogarden! Go with the bubble! General Hydoponics Flora Series ain't bad, no hydro shops around here but there's plenty of places on e-bay that have free shipping. oh yeah your avatar, I know that guy!(not personally-- just seen his videos)

Would using cfls be better than using the new LEDs? If not Where can i order the LEDs for a good price?

I would shy away from l.e.d for now, go with proven equipment. cfls are great for vegging--I would go with hps for flowering. that said, there are growers who use cfls the whole life of the plant. what hydro system you leaning toward? I just started a journal and you can learn from my mistakes! I'll be posting as many pics as i can

If you've been watching Green Man's tutorials you'll know he's not running very much electricity at all,he's running one 400 watt light plus 2 shop lights,his total wattage cant be over 700 watts with fans,pumps & lights,your bill would not go up that much.

im definitely gonna get the cloner they have. its exactly like a diy bubbleponic cloner but it is actually cheaper in the long run and way less of a headache. I think im also gonna try the regulr bubble ponic system, as it is very affordable and a good system to learn hydro on.

Can you grow all the way through with an HPS system... Another thing how much will the bill jump running a 400 watt system 18 hrs on.

i have 1 aero and 1 ebb and flow also an aero cloner.... i know nothing about the bubbler, but i do like my aero....... actally i love it..... but like i said i have nothing to say on the bubbler, but it looks simple enough.... it looks more like a vegitation station... i wonder how sturdy that lid is especially with 6 fully grown plants???
