My legal CA grow

My first real garden, other than a low tech closet grow.
Two 6x4 trays, growing in rockwool, top feed set up, hydroponics.
Four 600 watt lights (two over each tray).
10 x 10, 1000 cu ft grow room, completely sealed and painted with a flat white mold resistent paint. Carbon filter and exaust fan that evacuates room about every 2.5 minutes.
Space heater with thermostat (expensive to run!!), keep my humidity between 46 and 52, and temperature between 70 and 78.
Lights are vented also.
This crop has too many varieties, which I new would provide complications, but had a hard time getting clones of one kind. Problems are uneven canopy, and one strain has a 9 to 10 week flowering time but the rest are 7 to 8 weeks. Next time it's all one strain and flower quick, no pruning, SOG.
I have a total of 30 plants, including GDP, NYCD, Mendo Purps, Purple Hardball, Shiva Skunk. Used the following at different times during veg and flower- AB Supernutrients (SVA, SVB, SBA, SBB), supplemented with B'Cuzz Growth and B'Cuzz Bloom, Hygrozome, PK 13/14 (once during flowering), Epsom Salt, Superthrive, and I flush for two to three weeks using Sweet and Clearex.
Im 7 weeks into flowering today, so getting close to harvest except for the NYCD.
I'm gonna try to post some pics now- hope it works.

I Fim'd the plants pretty early which is why I got so many buds out of 30 plants.
But actually I think there is alot of wasted space below the canopy and the plants went nuts after I Fim'd them- luckily the only problem I had was fungus gnats and I treated them with Gnatrol early on and that took care of it for the most part- sticky traps catch a few now. Lots of airflow and no probs with mold, mildew etc.
Next crop will be one tray only- I'm gonna try vegggin em' quick and flower earlier when the plants are small, SOG style, no pruning,one strain/variety.
I'm going to keep a few mothers and grow my own clones- have a beautiful mother starting now (black domina) thats one generation away from seed.
Also the space heater with thermostat works great to keep temps constant and humidity down but the cost is alot. I notice that if I drop the thermostat down 8 degrees my humidity will shoot up to 90%. If I keep the heater at 73 then my humidity never rises above 53 or 54. I'm also going to take the glass off the lights and stop venting them for the next crop- maybe that will allow the space heater to work less and save me some money. But I'm sure in the summer I'll have to vent again and maybe even use an air conditioner.

Hard to say but I think probably 2lbs+
I'll have to let the NYCD flower a week or so longer than the rest- the buds on those plants look so cool there are mostly calyxs and the buds have that kinda twisted dragon tail look to them.

I helped a friend make some bubble bag hash the other day. Small amount of purple kush and gdp trimmings. Came out real well I think. Last bag was like 25 microns I think. First time I/we used bubble bags. Im smoking some right now and it is fantastic.
