Grow Room Setup!!

So just wanted to run my set up by some more experienced growers.

35 buckets/blue dream strain

10 x 10 mother room:

1 1000 watt
1 1000 watt digital ballasts
4 x 4 tray
flood and drain resevoir system
1/2 ton wall mounted AC
65 pint dehumidifier
6inch vortex
RO system

10 x 20 grow room (10 ft high ceilings)
ebb and grow system (30 buckets)
6 HPS 1000 watt buld/hood
reflective laminent walls and ceiling
painted floor white
6 1000 watt digital ballasts (quantum)
2 1 ton ac wall mounted ac units
2 65 pint dehumidifiers
can 75 filter/10inch flange/10 inch vortex
CO2 burner
4 6inch vortexs!!

I think that about sums it up. Built it all from ground up..framing, drywall..everything

I am 12 days into veg.
transplanted clones 12 days ago
babies are now about 8inches

Enviroment is as follows:
18 on 6 off
temp: 71.8 lights on 69.9 lights off
humidity is 45% dead on
PH = 6.2-6.4
PPM= 650-700

To my knowledge...every variable is ideal
I am hoping to yeild 2lbs per light

What do you think? Is there anything I am missing. Are my variables the best they can be? Are my yeild hopes too high?

What nutes do you advise other than a root enhancer and GH Nova during veg state?

Any and all comments and suggestions are MUCH appreciated. i obviously have a lot vested and want to produce the highest quality product possible.

Thanks in advance.

You have a nice setup. Some suggestions, as I have considerable experience with very large operations............ Your temperatures are poor. You have too much cooling. Try to keep the 69(f) lights off, that's excellent. But, try to keep it 10 degrees hotter during the plants 12 hours of lights on. That'd put you at 79(f) which is perfect! Just kick the A/C back a little bit lower. The reason for the 10 degree drop at night, is to really make the plant think its night. They'll enjoy the temps on both sides and you'll get better results.

Your hope of yielding 2 lbs per light is do-able, but probably not until your 3rd grow once you get everything dialed in properly.

Would have liked to see some pictures........ ;) Part of me wonders if your grow IS real, as someone with that much expertise of setting up this room wouldnt just post here without a photo -- they'd be too proud of their work and have a dozen photos.. :) Post em up!
 
Thanks for the reply Kitty. The 10 degree difference, you would implement during the veg stage or wait until flowering? As far as the yeild, yes thats what i have been told...I should expect full results by the third yeild. However, as you can see, I have done all the research I possibly can to this point. Hoping for a little beginners luck I suppose. And yes yes, it is real as can be. I figured with enough research (solid 3 months of over-reading and comparing) I should be able to at least get all the variables where they need to be. I was a little hesitant about posting pics. I will try and get some up this week.

10 degree difference once the clone is rooted, or once the seedling has germinated and rooted. You'll want to keep it on the warmer side (82-84(f)) for seeds at first. Still looking for photos. :)
 
RKitty, I having been reading other posts and came across some sort of nutrients others are using and are reffering to them as hardners and softners. Are you familiar and what are their purpose? Do you reccomend? Thanks in advance
