Okay before I realized the tent was causing my problems, I had bought all the stuff to try a few different ways of growing, thinking i must be doing something wrong.
Now, realizing it was less me and more the poisonous fumes from the tent, I still wanna see which I like best. I've been using sunshine #4, top watering it with Age Old Grow kelp and hydrogen peroxide with honey mostly, occasionally adding fox farms additives beastie bloom, cha-ching and open sesame, as well as cal-mag by botanicare.
So now I've switched to advanced nutrients mother earth tea's and Eggy's seaweed and F1, b vitamins and piranha and new meters to tell me my ph and ppm that are very handy.
So here's the plan:
I've got the six plants that will go into flower next all repotted into their respective systems and I'm going to compare growth rates and yeild from the different systems.
Another thing I'd done, hoping to solve my problem, was get some new clones, in case my strains were bad. Well, my plants are all happy as clams now, so I'm awful glad i didn't throw them out. But, i have a ridiculous number of strains for someone who can only have six plants in flower at a time, lol.
So the strains in question are:
Drip buckets:
Puna Butter (new to me)
Rosy (old bag seed fav of mine)
Dwc
Romulan Skunk, (old fav)
Jack Herer (ive grown 2 x)
Sunshine #4
Undue (new to me)
Ak 47 (new to me)
I'm ph ing the water to 5.3 -5.8 before watering and have the ppm between 500-750 right now.
Not sure if that's perfect, I'm still learning ppm stuff.

So far I'm still watering the DWC from the top because the roots aren't deep enough in the hydroton to get moisture yet. It's too early to decide, but so far it's my least favorite.
