First time Hydro grow... Wish me luck

Gooood morning. . . I'm bored and ready to start a little thread here I suppose. I have been planning this grow for some time now and it's finally starting to come together.

Specs:
-veg light- 4 ft, 6 t-8 bulb fluorescent
-flowering- 600w hps
-SOG style grow using Flood and Drain method. (3 seperate tables for perpetual harvest and nutrient control)
- Mother plants are in a cheap homemade DWC system. but it's working nicely

Right now I only have the 2 mothers (bagseed ) due to funds, but soon I'll be adding a variety. (Cheese, GWS, Lemon skunk, trainwreck, Church, and Blueberry)... With 1 600w I figure I can cover roughly 25 sq ft sufficiently, so I'll be taking 8-10 clones every 3 weeks to get the perpetual harvest... The flood tables will be 2ft x 4ft (3 of them of course) inside a room about 6'x4'x7'...

Well there you have it.. Any suggestions or tips are more than welcome.. Pictures will be coming and I'll keep you guys posted. Peace!

pic 2. the roots of mother 1
pic 3. some delicious red dragon
pic 4. Mother 1
pic 5. over view of the ghetto set up
pic 6. the air pumps im using ( I would like some links or some advice on where to get some stronger pumps.. I got these because they are pretty quiet which is what i need)
pic 7. roots of mother 2
pic 8. mother 2.
pic 9. some purp . The kid didnt know the name of it but its pretty good. real rich tasting, heavy stone. I liked it very much
pic 10. just a closer over view of the garden

The plants are starting to get too bushy to share the same res so I'm planning on buying some 5 gallon buckets and making those ladies new homes. (btw they are just around 4 weeks old now)

good luck bro

went and got a couple 5 gallon buckets and put the girls in their on resivors today so hopefully they can take in some extra light since they arent crammed together..

And it didn't show up any bigger than before Oh well. I have some updates... I have been taking clones and put the mothers in flowering.. Unfortunately one of them turned out to be male, so he was cut down a few days ago. The other one is moving along just nice. It's about 2 weeks into flower and responding well.. It's still in the 5 gal dwc, using advanced nutes sensi A and B bloom. That second picture is showing the roots of the male that was chopped down. It's a shame really, I was pretty impressed by the results.

No one really seems to be interested in this thread, but I'll still try to keep the updates coming.... To add to the last post, I also had some seeds come in from the tude. I have Seedsman white widow, Sweet Delicious S.A.D 1, and Greenhouse's Lemon skunk Those are only week old seedlings but will soon be put into dwc . Those will be used as mothers and the clones will be used for S.O.G.. peace !

bigger pix. and shirt on please. thanks.

This thread is dead unfortunately. So this is just a test picture. although it is the latest update from this grow. The bag seed girls are over and done with. ended with a sorry case of root rot was due to lack of oxygen. I had a 3 watt air pump on 2 5 gallon buckets and thats not even sufficient for 1 bucket. . Fixed that with the new 35 watter shown in this picture.. currently Have 1 lemon skunk and 1 S.A.D s1 about 3 weeks flower shown here as well...
