I don't really kno much about using cfl's except for cloning. General hydro three part is a pretty good mix to use. I suggest a really good pH and ppm meter/tester. Usually 200 or so. Look for Hanna products. There are many charts out there to show u how much to use of each of the three part. However I have found in dwc u wanna start super lighty. It is very easy to burn your plants, that's why ppm meter is so important.

You invested in some good stuff, I use the same nutrients. For the best results I would go ahead and buy a nutrient stick a digital meter that measures the ppm(parts per million) of dissovled solids (your nutrients) in the water. At two weeks you should be hanging around 300ppm or a little lower and increase every other week up to 1600ppm in the last stages of growth. I got my meter for like 30 bucks on the internet. A ph testing kit or meter, which is only like5 bucks is very important also. Your plant will thrive around 6.0 -6.5ph, your plant will take in all the micro and macro nutrients it needs. Any higher or lower your plant roots will lock up and cause problems. Your light set up seems to be alright.

In what system are u growing that u end up at 1600 ppm??? And IMO a five dollar pH tester is not suffient.

It's better than guessing and 1400ppm is as high as i go, but you can go as high as 1600ppm anymore is a waste. Stranger sah had!
