Very nice setup!!
I'm curious how the Kelp4Less and MG tomato compared to each other. I only saw pics with young plants.
Love your use of homer buckets and I'm assuming Walmart bags. Why put the colander on the bottom though?

The Colander is part of the Alaska Grow Bucket system, self watering with an external reservoir, the colander allows water to flow freely into each bucket.
 
The Kelp for Less and MG Tomato have produced identical results so far, the plants have just begun flowering in 8" nursery containers. I really couldn't justify the added cost of the K4L, at least when growing in potting mix. If I were to continue using Hydro type fertilizers I would most likely use the Greenway Biotech stuff, as it is a bit cheaper.

has anyone else been battling pepper flower moths?  
They completely wiped out my flowers and fruits for almost an entire month. Sprayed 8 times with BT and alternating with Neem just to get them under control. Damn things are like varmint Cong. They still aren't gone, just reduced in number. 
as an aside, Caddyshack was filmed less than one mile from my house at that time. 
 
what purpose does the homer bucket with no holes and the float valve serve?
kratky bucket?
 
edit: wait now is see the drip lines...the float valve controls the level of water in your wallybag/buckets via the drip lines...I love it!
please correct me if i'm wrong.

You are correct. It is an Alaska Grow Bucket System
