I have a 3 bucket DWC set up. I'm new and this is my first grow so I am open to all questions and concerns.
2 Granddaddy purp Fem (1 Gdp seedling, one 3 week old veg gdp), and one Zkittlez Auto (3week old veg stage)
The 3 week old GDP has around 800-1200ppms on nutrient change day.
The 3 week old Zkittles Auto has around 800-1200ppms as well.
The Seedling is around 400-600ppms.
I adjust my ph regularly. If need be. I take them down to 5.5-5.8 when I check every other day and they climb up to 7-7.2. They don't fluctuate that often but some days its every morning sometimes they run 2 days at 5.8-6.2ph before jumping up to 7.0.
I have no reservoir to run a rwdc to circulate and chill the water (no chiller yet) my bucket temps when checked periodically read 75-78°F.
Basement setup
-5x5 Ac infinity Tent
-78° Ambient temp in tent.
-RH 60-70%
-4" Ac infinity inline fan with 4" carbon filter. (Should of went with a 6", hard to cool down at times)
-600w Sunleaves ballast/air-cooled hood (6") w -600w Vivosun MH conversion bulb.
-Light is 16" away from plants.
-2 fans. One pushing under the light directly over the plants, 1 pushing air out (vents on tent are opened as well).

Nutrients per bucket once a week change on 3week old veg gdp/zkittles:
3.5gal distilled water
8ml Miicrobial Mass
6ml of hydrogaurd
30ml of biothrive grow
15mg of cal mag
30ml of bioroot
12-15ml of bioweed
Liquid seaweed for defoliation spray 10ml per gallon, into spray bottle.
Just started the seedling gdp on first weeks nutes.
My questions:
-Are these "organic" nutes my problem?
Am I fighting an uphill battle on temps (no matter the beneficial bacterial usage)?
