Sorry to hear about your original plants. I am a first timer myself so I like to see what others did that didn't work. I believe you learn more from your failures than you do your successes. I am having concerns myself about the roots being healthy and no slime. I have some VAM by BioAG, but I haven't used it yet as it is not designed for a hydro grow. But I saw that KingJohnC put a link up for some "homebrew" so i will be checking that out shortly.
I see that you decided to go with the SCRoG after all. Any specific reason you changed your mind?? I am planning on doing the same style of LST, but water changes are giving me some stress. I did find a double bucket setup and allows you to add water to the secondary bucket and then the water is shared with the actual plant in the other bucket by way of a going from one to the other. Here is a link that will explain it better than I probably just did.
How to Build a Two-Bucket DWC System | High Times
I am looking at maybe doing this setup as I already have a hose on my current bucket. I have that there to not only check my water level, but to help me drain it when I need to change the water. It would be very simple for me(famous last words) to just toss another bucket on.
Good luck and I hope this batch turns out better than the last. Hopefully, whomever sold you the bad seeds will try to make it right. I would send pics of them and explain a little what you did and try to show that it was bad genetics. I'm not sure if you can prove bad genetics, but if you've got plants growing in the same medium now, it should be pretty obvious. That being said, common sense is a rare quality these days. Best of luck and I will keep watching!
Just read through your journal mate and lucky you had that clone to save your grow, turned out to be a nice plant too, get anywhere flowering it?
Looking good. You can go ahead and switch if you wanted. It will be 3 weeks before they start getting smellier than what she is now. My papayas never really changed smell even when in flower. Only at the end of flowering when my tent would head up causing the smell for them.
Have you thought about just getting a 400 or 600 watt HPS with a cooltube? They are a lot cheaper and you can get a whole package for around $150 for a 600. For what they produce and the wattage in light you get for the price you cant beat it. It would go good in your setup
DrewDrop, Im instant messaging you the link after i post this message. $122 and free shipping for the complete Cooltube kit.
My 600 watt HPS cooltube raises my temps 6 degrees where my CFL raised my temps from 8-15 degrees. My HPS runs a lot cooler than my CFL's. As far as energy cost i see no difference from my 600 watt than all the CFL's i was running. HPS is a lot better light than LED as far as yield goes. Penetration is also a lot better to lower bud sites. Like i said $122 for a 400 watt and around $160 for a 600 watt you cant beat the prices...
Im kinda confused on your post about the intake filter. How are you going to run it? If you install the fan and filter all its going to do is suck more air into the tent from your house. The filter is used to clean the air from inside your tent to the outside not the other way around like you are thinking. The only way to filter the air coming in is open up one of the intake holes and run ducting outside the tent and then connect your filter outside your tent and suck air in to your tent from the filter outside the tent.... if that makes sense. This however isnt going to filter the smell but you said it didnt really matter much anyway.
