Damn, too bad dude, but those girls did look pretty rough.
I just gotta say, some of your computer graphics / artwork you post on here (along with the stellar growroom) are really fucking cool. Some real ill designs. Do you ever do any real tagging ?
Peace,

success can be achieved w/ vegetables w/ aero/dwc/nft/soil/soilless mix.
5 gal of simple black gold coco blend, w/ perlite+lava rock, hand-watered ~2-3 days extremely simple. results comparable to ^methods w/out technical difficulties.
can be run in 5 gal bucket w/ no run-off holes. ~6-12oz. solution/water every few days. maybe a 1" pvc pipe staked in for oxygen. overwatering should be avoided in this method.
w/ watering done every 3 days, (run-to-waste/wick), ph 5.8-6.2, foliar ph 6.8, ppm 250->1000, possible to focus on other areas, i.e.g., diff, vpd, light manip, etc.
or, run 3 tubs/buckets/bed on pond liner vs. current dwc. may be able to use coins for greater environmental control. plants can only assimilate so many cations and ions, regardless of the system of cultivation. unfortunate to observe preventable issues. quality veggies are possible w/ bucket of lava rock hand watered/pumped ~once daily w/ run-to-waste/wick. ph/ppms no issue. keep it simple+sophisticated.
vegetable seeds/heirloom cultivars are omnipresent. should be a re-generated garden soon. no worries!
edit: avg 24hr root temps in current sys? did they fluctuate from day to night?
h202 can be applied weekly to ^mediums/sys, regardless of beneficials added. everthing gets 1 wk to live (myco/non-beneficials, etc).
hope this helps. enjoy your garden!

Will this smart Pots work http://www.wormsway.com/detail.asp?sku=SPO335? and will adding the Econo-System Drip Add-On/Conversion to my Sunstream One-Tray Econo-System be a good idea?

That link didn't work for me. I'll assume the answer is yes though, as there's only one Smart Pot, just different sizes. You still didn't say how many plants you plan to run, which is key in figuring out pot size and spacing in the tray.
I personally would do 4-5 plants in a tray that size, vegged for 3-4 weeks or flowered at 12-18" and finish around 3', 4-6oz each if done under a 600-1,000w no sweat.
Drip systems have their pros and cons. For what you're doing I would just go straight flood and drain. You're mixing about 25gal. of nutrient solution, which isn't too bad.
After sticking my head in the search box I found out a lot of information regarding Lucas Formula. Do some research on this technique and you'll see people get awesome results and save money while they're at it.
Hope that helps.

No problem dude, I hope to see you up and running one of these days soon.
That link did work, that's the stuff. I'd suggest getting larger than the #1 pots though. If you run 4-5 plants I think the following choices would do well.
# No. 724705 – 8” x 7” and 1.9 Gallons
# No. 724710 – 10” x 8.5” and 2.9 Gallons
That'll give you plenty of room for root growth for the size of plants you'll be dealing with.

My new fav...
Buddy smoked my brains out with some honey oil and bud. Raw power.
That's looks dank and tasty. Just by looking at it, it makes me want to go roll a blunt and start smoking it. LOL

For now it's unavailable. The grower wants a leg up in the game. Maybe he'll share later on down the road. I feel lucky just having tried it, it's damn good stuff.
Anyway, I got tired of looking at empty reflectors and wanted to get an idea of the heat I'm going to be facing. To my surprise, it's not that bad. Easily cooled with the A/C sitting in there as it is.
Now time to clean the system out and ready it for the new plants.
Peace
