Hello my fellow growmates. I hope this coming cold weather will put a growing smile on all you guys faces. As i love winter grows so f, ing much. But anwayz i need you guys critique, tips and advice on this setup. 12x12 basment. I want advice on anything like light placement, more fans, lst, topping, the whole 9. I know you guys have great experience and know all about this shit. So I'm asking for a helping hand thanks.
Let's get right into it. I have a Movable10 bucket dwc.
Strains: Royal queen Sour diesel, 3Blueberry og from Wos, CR+, Afghan Kush, Chemdog, Green Love Potion, Moby Dick, and an Auto called Ultraviolet
Nutrients: Sensi A & B 60% strength
-seakelp,silica, superthrive, jungle juice micro at 10%
-Tap water 140 ppm
-reverse osmosis system not hooked up. Tap seems to be doing ok.
-co2 enrichment 20lb 15 on 45 off @ 4 cubic per hour
Ambient Temp 77-82
res temp 77

Im also Running Heisenberg tea to compensate for the extra heat the 600 is adding to the bottom of my buckets. The roots are doing great even with 75+ degree water temps. Awesome tea
For smell I have an 8 inch 630cFM carbon scrubber, + 4 inch 432 carbon scrubber exhastings into a vent in the basment which I have no clue where it goes.
Lights:
1000 above and a 600 below the lower foliage for now. I will eventually have them both horizontally placed above the foilage when they get a little bigger. I also will eventually run my 6 inch blower fan to both the lights when the plants get bigger.
Well that's it. I need tips on taking it up a notch with what I have

turn that bottom light off.. no need for it yet. the only time you would want that is to give light to bud sites that are being shaded by fan leaves if you didnt want to trim to open your canopy. waste of electric atm imo.

..BECAUSE!!!!
Plants dont absorb light from the bottom. Yu will be lighting a little extra that the top light will miss but yu will be wasting a lot of light for not much gain if any. Jus hang the light vertically.
Vertical = win
