Hey all I'm new to growing trying to keep it as simple as possible I'm running a 2x2x4.5 ft with 315cmh 2 dwc buckets 2 oscillating fan 4" extractor with carbon filter seed unknown running now with temps at 26 c to 31 plant seen happy using max veg dry feed half strength 2 weeks in and they seen small not much root growth I do ph at 6 none of the other stuff 1 plant in one 10L all has seemed fine other wise except today I noticed buckets had white stuff all round the walls and bottom of buckets I rubbed it all off and water became cloudy then hours later was pretty clear again ph lvls fine though any thoughts on this and advice as how to get more roots coming from rock wool as it only the the 1 thin root then splits up to lots more

I know nothing about hydro or metal halides, but isnt 315 watts a little overkill in a 2x2x4? Just a guess cause i only ran 150 in my 2x2 when i had it. And that was 6 foot tall.

150 watt led, pulled 12 ounces off 2 plants vegged for 5 weeks in 3 gallon pots. But i know led and mh are completely different ball games i just dont know if 315 is to much for mh in a 2x2. It might be fine, heat would be an issue though id think.

I cant help on the plants, as im a soil guy for the simplicity, but your roots look healthy white anyways. I cant even give suggestions thats how little i know about hydro lol.
