Also, how big of plants are you growing that you need 5 gallon buckets? Maybe something smaller might do??

Well since hieght isnt an issue, heat probably wont be an issue. Id suggest a minimum 400w MH (or higher if possible) for veggin and switch to a HPS for flowering. I still think that you could use some smaller buckets since overall floor space is an issue, and with smaller buckets have more plants and harvest sooner (hence sog). But honestly Im pretty new around these parts and it is best left up to the pros. Do a little more research and plan out your grow in advance.
Either way you go good luck and I'll be popping in for a visit every once in a while. E.F.

nice progress so far... you should be good with a 400 at the least, i would use 600 or 1000hps. but in the summer in your neck of the woods it might be tooo much heat to deal with. so a 600watt hps would be the best if you can afford it. if you use 3 totes you can grow 6 plants comfortably, but when they are full of water they are heavy, and messy and changing the res... if you are stuck on dwc you will make it work. for that small of plant numbers i would use soil. but not that super soil, bugs seem to thrive in that barky mess. it is good you added perlite, for the super soil doesnt drain well, especially in cooler temps. becareful with overwatering... also. i like the crex as well nice project. good luck

how man lumens are those lights producing?? my guess is around 900 per light so 1800 total, and without good reflectors youre going to lose a lot of that intensity.
A 250 w MH light with reflector will produce around 25000 lumens, 400 w, around 45000. The kalvins are good though (cool blue). but with minimal lumens those plants will S T R E T C H and will ultimatly produce less budd. Those 23w cfl's will do you for the seedling stage, but I think if you ask around the majority of ppl will definatly say more light is needed to produce more bud. Just my two cents though bro, take it for what it worth. E.F.

DEAL! You know what might be an idea?? and Im just throwing this out there, a 4 ft long, 4 bulb high intesity t5 grow light. The only reason I say that ( and normally wouldn't) is because of the demensions of your grow space, its long and narrow, and a 4 ft long t5 would dispense the light more evenly rather than an intense hps/mh one small area. Also since there going to be small plants you could keep that t5 right down on top of them cuz they dont cause that much heat.
The HPS/MH will definatly produce more lumens but in a more concentrated space, where a 4 ft high intensity will give each plant the same aprox light. I dunno, just a thought. Talk to you soon! E.F.
