Hello all. This is my first dwc grow. As you can tell from the photo, things have gone pretty well so far. I have 2 females (from baggie seeds) in 5 gallon bubble buckets. Since outdoor grows are all I've ever done until this point, the idea was to get a feel for all the new equipment and to develop good maintenance habits for future grows. This way, once I start obtaining seeds from a seed bank, I will be more able to address issues and not be faced with utter disappointment for failed crops. So they are now on week 3 of flowering. I have a 600w dimmable HPS (running at 100%) with an air cooled reflector, 6 inch inline fan and carbon filter (vented outdoors). I also have three 9 inch fans for circulation. The current temp is 70°F with RH of 63% inside my 4x4x7 tent. I'm using expanded clay pellets with Advanced Nutrients pH Perfect Micro, Grow, Bloom and Cal Mag in RO water which I use obsessively. Their nute water gets changed religiously every 7 days. I never get a pH above 5.7. I am also using 2 dual output 8L air pumps per bucket for extra oxygenation and to (hopefully) drastically reduce the risk of root rot, etc.
And so I must ask:
Does anyone notice anything wrong or anything that I'm doing incorrectly?
Any pointers on what I need to do from here to maximize yield and potency?
I openly welcome your input .
