Tent Is Up, Clones Are Nice And Big And Pulled out of the ebb and flow system and put into the rdwc system. Glad to be using my light now finally. Can't seem to get this one out of flower. It's still being so weird. Last pic.

Just a few more pics of the newly constructed room, tent, ducting, (fresh air comes straight from the central air duct 
),supplies, and a shot of my screen and the frame I built for it designed to go over my water lines 
Also a few of my veg room. I used panda film and an adhesive tarp zipper and staples to make a door for it. It's an unfinished closet in the same room with mylar wrapped around and stapled to the studs.
And some of you may remember these dope ass cfl hoods I made. Glad to have them back. I'll put them to use soon.

Neat job on the light, I'll have to invest in one of those space heaters at some point

Few updates. I've switched the supply tubing for the waterfalls to black. There was slime building up in the clear and I'm sure it's because of the light and stagnant water in them. So I upped the pump to a MASSIVE huge 370gph pump. No stagnant wate in the lines now . But it was spraying straight to the other side of the bucket wall. So I made some elbow fittings and turned them on a 45* angle. Works like a charm.
My water temp feels high. But that's yet to be seen. I'm getting some discoloration on a few leaves. Any ideas on what it is??? @Rahz

Also, I got the veg room up and Goin again with mostly cfl in one of the hoods and a small cool white fluoro. Just popped a bag seed and a reg Afghan and fem lemon kush. But it's nice to have everything up and running.

Here's the girls in the ebb n flow before they were moved to the rdwc. I did wait a TAD too long to transfer and the roots were much longer than in these pics, but surprisingly, when I filled the system with water, the hydroton floats and allows you to slowly work the roots out of it and out of each others space. I could finished the whole thing in it honestly, but there's nothing like rdwc imo.

I had thought it was light burn too. But I just can't be too sure. I did raise my lights though. I just really wish there was a way to cool my water other than water bottles, Jimmy rigging a dehumidifier, or spending $300 on the smallest (1/10HP) water chiller available. I got away with it last run in an even smaller, tighter space with no forms of chilling at all. But I'd really like to know they were at a constant 62-66*. My dad has one for his tomatoes. I'm so Frick in jealous... :/

Nice job. A mini fridge with 50 ft of your supply line on the top shelf and a 6 pack on bottom shelf, set it to the warmest temp and you got yourself some European style beer.
In all seriousness there is one thing I think would be worth while checking on your light based on a pic you posted on one of the first two pages. The wire going into the holder looks to have a slight bit of copper exposed - this might be contributing factor to an issue you posted in my thread.

Ya I dunno it could be I guess. But we're you saying just drill 2 holes in the front door of the fridge and just wrap as much line as I can in the freezer portion? Would it help to run any in the fridge part? I'd assume it'd actually be more effective to reduce from 1/2" down to maybe 3/8" or 1/4" so that you can fit more line in, and also make less mass of water to need to be cooled through just inside the freezer area. Then expand back to 1/2"on the other hole on the fridge face.

I
I'd go in the side so you can still use the door easily. Trace the refer lines and electrical so you don't hit em, think of a kegerator the top would be a good option too, but please fix the wires first.
