Hey Everyone!!!! I'm finally ready after two months of down time. Here it all it is though!!
4'x4' setup
Water system-
We have 13 gal buckets connected with 2" flex PVC back to a res that might hold 40-50 gallons atm, but it's a bit high atm as we have baby plants going in that require high water levels until the roots come down.
The res has DCP-6500 DC Sine wave Jebao pump hooked up to a venturi manifold. The venturis are greatly silenced with some air compressor intake silencer/filters i put on the ends. There are no air pumps atm, no air stones, will see how it goes, but currently the water looks plenty oxygenated everywhere.
At the end of the venturi oxygenated output is the intake for the return pump, Danner MagPro 700 gph. This oxygenated water is returned to drop on the top of each bucket. The loss in water from the system will cause the water to return to the res via the 2" pvc to keep itself equal. This is the fallponics.
There is a pH controller connected to some phDown to keep it all in check.
Lights-
I have four strains running, they will all go in a scrog to be quartered out in their own 2'x2' square. Each quarter of the tent has the equivalent of 100watts at full power(before bloom boosters). There will be two 100 watt generic lights vs. @SpiderFarmerLED free contest light, the SF-2000 https://www.spider-farmer.com/products/sf-2000-led-grow-light/
I'm hoping this grow will convince me at the end to upgrade the other half with another SF-2000. Thank you @SpiderFarmerLED for the light!!!!
Air-
There are 2 4" intake 190CFM fans, one 8" exhaust fan on a controller that ports outside. Inside the tent there are two pole fans but no strippers.
Nutes-
Keepeing it real simple this time. I switched to the 3 part General Hydroponic lineup. Only using that, some TPS Gold Silica, and hydrogen peroxide. The H202 is very mild, and setup on a very small autodoser, therefore never having a high concentration all at once. I am sure live is better, but please debate calmly if you chose to do so. I really just want to try it and see what happens this way, for my own learning, living experience. It's interesting, because my other two systems are live(used Orca) and they are doing awesome right now.

@SpiderFarmerLED
@SpiderFarmerLED free contest light on the left!! Thanks again! This will be the first full run using this. On the right are two cheap Amazon lights I coupled together to offer a similar coverage. The bars hanging are bloom boosters that will remain off for the time being.
water temp is a little high, but will see where it settles in another day or two.
you remember bubbles? he's back
I've been making some infused lollipops in the meantime, that has been going really well. below we have from left to right, banna cream, mystery punch, apple, strawberry kiwi. def getting better every batch. will post some of my process on some candy makings of this and vegan gummy nerd ropes soon.

Alien Dragon BX1
Alien Dragon BX1 (Alien Zour Apple x Panama Dragon) This one is not only a looker, but a kicker as well. Very heady smoke will have you cleaning your whole house before you even know what hit you. Medium height, and dense flower yields along with strong lateral branching, make her very easy...
