400 watt CMH recirculating DWC Easy ryder grow

Hello all. Title says it all, maintaining solution at 68F have 400 watt ceramic metal halide about 14" from tops right now. GH flora three part / H2O2 / Occasional hydrozyme/ silica. Day 24 from seed right now. About 6 inches tall, except for runt in front left. Reason its so small is because when i sprouted there were no leaves! So I left it alone after about 8 days new nodes finally started growing.

N/P/K: 120, 60, 130 (ppm)
Ca/ Mg: 130, 40
Fe: 3
Mn: 1
Silica: 100
pH: 5.5
EC: 1.8 (calculated 500 ppm(ish) from flora calculator, for some reason its over 2X).

Temp day/night: 84/75F.
Nute solution temp (constant): 68F.
Humidity: 40%

Did an LED grow with easy ryder (2 plants not four) and yielded about 35 grams per plant. Didn't have my chiller and the LED was an older 1 watt diode model. These plants seem to love the CMH, super green cool moist leaves.

Its a 32" X 32" tent, so I have just over 400 watts/ M^2.
Buckets wrapped in black tape then white.

super bushy ! i like it well done

Good job, looks like your off to a good start. If possible I recommend you keep the temps around 75*F during lights on, if you have good co2 supplementation you can get away with higher temps but your going to get faster growth & better results staying under 80*F.
So its been a minute since you posted, with CMH and RDWC those girls should be looking pretty nice right now, got some update pics for us????

Thanks bro! This is them at day 40, ten days ago. Haven't taken new pics yet but they are about twice as fat as here and solid bud now, no stems visible. This RDWC is fucking ridiculously awesome. I will never, ever do solo buckets again. The pump has a filter on in so all the dead roots and shit end up in the main bucket and the plat buckets stay clean. That and keeping a perfectly stable temp at 66F I have not had a single problem with the roots the ENTIRE grow, oH has been perfectly stable, and I've been running about 1250 ppm with silica and NO burn, just a little tip burn. They are the perkiest bushiest plants I have ever grown. Glad I invested in that chiller. If you're on the fence about the expense, totally fucking worth it. I'll post newer pics soon.
