Arrow First time Grow- Closet/DWC 400w hps

Hey hows it going everyone Just figured I'd start a journal to Get some suggestions, and try and avoid any major problems as this is my first venture.
-Right now i have 1 plant in soil that i brought in from the outside and 2 in a small mock up of my hydro setup I have a Plastic Tub with baskets and 2 pumps going to the res and back to the main area.(I'm only using a kitty litter tubs full of water as of now b/c I'm waiting on some Ice seeds to come and i figured I'd get used to maintaining a good environment.)
-Right now I'm using a 400w hps light and my rooms running at about 83-86 when the lights on a bit high i've heard but i re directed a fan today and its kicking air out the exhaust much better.
-I'm using general hydroponics Flora grow, bloom & micro.
Today i brought in the last plant from outside and put it in the system. thinking about hooking up my tri meter today as well. Here are a couple of pics so far, had to use cfl flood for first couple of days. also the plant in soil isn't really growing out just up its from bag seed so idk
Let me know what you think so far and also im open to any suggestions

-Nutes Droped to 510/500 (370ppm tap water) think i may add a little more tomorrow
-Water temp still same 76
-I lowered ph to 5.5 it has been gently climbing over time
-Room temp hi/lows 67.5 28% humid. and 85.7 50% humid (I'm digging the low humidity but need a better exhaust setup, right now i have a small fan inside blowing out and a big fan outside the room sucking air out to help the small one remove heat better)
other than that just kinda keeping an eye on things here are some pics sorry i tried to catch em after the light went off yesterday but like 25 mins passed and i didn't want to disturb em. I'll take some tonight that shouldn't be washed out by the hps

Just a pic of room, all plants so far are from bag seed. wanted to get things down before My Ice gets here and i have to germinate it anyway. any tips for that, I got a dome?

kind of washed out from light but current readings, ph went to 5.5

can't see really well but i got some pretty nice leaf growth overnight

just recently transplanted from soil outside... The previous one that's just recently started being healthy again was originally in soil and i made the mistake of feeding it toxic levels of nutes so what i ended up doing was just razoring it down at the base of the stem and putting hormone on it. it took quite well. so I'm hoping this one was healthy when i put it in so it should hopefully take less time to acclimate (fingers crossed)

switched to full setup had to make a restrict 1 pump tho because it was bigger than the other= pain in the ass.. anyway here are some clear pics of the one that survived, still waiting on ice to germ. Think the bag seed plant is mostly indica because of the fat leaves let me know what you think?!

Default update-
2nd Ice plant came through the wool today ones about 3/4 of an inch tall and the other is about a half inch. last one is just about ready i can see it folded underneath, maybe tomorrow she'll pop. roots looking strong cut holes in the bottom of the egg container so that it can both drain better and the roots can reach the perlite underneath more pics probably tomorrow. Plant already in system is growing crazy fast... (first time doing hydro)
Think from now on plant already in system will be B1, and the others will be I 1-3 to keep it simple till they're a little older.
anyway thats whats new, happy growin
