Multiple Strain Hydro Grow

Hello everyone I'm ChiefGreens, this is my first post but I intend to keep my journal here. I am growing eight different strains in one 3x4 foot ebb&flow tray:

Top Row: Super Silver Haze, Arjan's Haze #1, Hawaiian Snow, Strawberry Haze
Bottom Row: Thai Skunk, Big Buddha Cheese, TrainWreck, Blueberry

Every time I post a picture I will also post a Day #, the number refers to how many days since the seed was first put into paper towel for germination. As you can see the TS, BBC, and TW are all about ten days younger than their older sisters, so whatever dateI post also know that those three are all about -10.

As far as posting in my journal goes..... I encourage it as long as you are not saying anything offensive, racist, or ignorant in any way. I strongly encourage you guys to help me out when I have problems though. =) I will try and post some pics and then I will describe their environment in a little more detail...

The plants are under a 400w MH bulb, I usually keep the temperature between about 76 and 84, always shooting for 78 though. The humidity is usually in the 40's but ever since I bought that humidifier I have been able to keep it in the 50's. I do not own an expensive water cleaner or whatever so I just use tap water but I let it sit out
for a few days before bringing it in the room. So far the plants have all been given just ONE flood of nutrients, up until now its beenjust water. I am using General Hydroponics Grow Bloom Micro nutrients. The first batchin my reservoir has been mixed and it contains the following:

1 tsp/gal or Grow and Bloom
.5 tsp/gal of Micro..... 1tsp/gal is the reccomendation for this stage but since im using hardwater I figured it's already got some of the micronutes in their.
1ml/gallon SuperThrive
1/4 tsp of BlackStrap Mollasses
Now that you've seen the pics I have my first question... how many floods a day?

Hey there ChiefGreens!!

Pretty good setup you have going...

I am not too familiar with hydro, as my expertise pertains mainly to our god given soil grows, but I do know some people that do hydro and I will see if I can get some info...

Those strains look pretty impressive, should be some fantastic genetics in there...

How close is the light??? looks like it could possibly be closer??? closer the better, but you cant get too close to BURN IT.
