Thanks unclefishstick
GMT Here is a shot inside the tub. I don't know exactly what this set up would be classified as. The tutorial I followed called it aeroponics. I tend to consider more of a dwc and low pressure aeroponics setup. It's worked well for me, and I like the maintenance routine (checking pH, ppm, water temp). I also like knowing exactly what nutrients my plants are getting at any given time. It's a little more work than soil, but in my experience it is worth the extra efforts.

GMT there are 4 large airstone discs that are always bubbling at bottom. The submersible pump turns on for 60 seconds every 4 minutes and sprays water out of the red sprinklers.
Draining is accomplished with a drain tube (circled in red in the attached picture). Filling is done with nutrient solution in plastic buckets and then pumped in with a swamp cooler water pump through on of the empty net pot holes (circles in blue in the attached pictures).

It seems that the light makes the tent to be more crowded. 
The recommended tent for FCE-8000 is 150x150x200cm.

Looks pretty well. 
Aero tent day 25. Plants seem to be responding well to the new light. They've at least doubled in size over the past week. I did notice some minor green algae forming on the plumbing inside the tote. I've cleaned it up and added black vinyl tape to the lid to keep light out of the reservoir. I've also started using hydroguard at every top off. I've slowed down whatever was causing the necrosis on the bottom leaves by lowering the pH to the 5.6-5.8 range. I'm thinking it was a manganese issue due to pH being in the 5.8-6.1 range during early growth
pH 5.7, temp 72f, res temp 66f, RH 50%, light turned up to 100%.
Soil tent day 54. Looking promising. Very nice color and buds are starting to thicken up. I'm feeding every other watering and they seem to be liking that this time.
Temp 72f, RH 40%
Bonus pic of some Fam95 that's been curing in jars for 3 weeks now. It's FAMtastic. Stinky, potent, and beautiful.

How's their look lately? bro
Aero tent Day 30 veg. No sex yet on any of them. These will likely veg for 50 days before flipping to flower.
I upped the CaliMagic to 3mL/g and the growth issue seems to be resolved. They've grown quite a bit over the past 5 days since the last update.
temp 74f, RH 55%, reservoir temp 68f, pH 5.7

Aero tent day 33. They're really growing now. Still not showing sex. I'll be topping and taking cuts soon.
pH 5.95, temp 74f, RH 60%, res temp 66f
Soil tent day 62. I feel like I've got the Wedding Cake really dialed in this time around. I'm digging the structure and colors this time!
