I suggest you pull the plug right now if you care about weight at all.
Nobody around here pulls 1.85# per light, and the guy giving you advice has grown for 11+ years and yielded .3# (ZERO point three pounds) per light on his first UC grow.
Organic soil tastes better than hydro already. Unless you want a prolonged, low yielding "education" in finicky-ponics, put your UC on craigslist like the other 15 guys in your area.
Of course, don't expect this advice from anyone who is already too far down the same path to turn back.
I will now get flamed for 100 posts about what a douche I am, but let's re-visit this thread in 15 months and see whether you are matching your soil numbers or are just 8k and 1000 hours further down a bad path with the UC.
I have friend's that run 5 gallon rdwc buckets with no chiller. DM zone. I'd be using a chiller but dm zone works good for keeping roots healthy. If you don't keep your water cool in those spray cloners, you can get the slime. Good luck bro- your set up looks clean. Wiggle room is nice but you could still replace a bucket with a sawzall, pvc and a soft coupler. There's always a way to fix something. GOOD LUCK!
Whats in the greenfuse product?
Are you still going to keep the one plant in dirt?
good point. I see Zone is leading the poll for most effective root health product.
Th reason I went with Oxidate and h2o2 is because DS uses h2o2 and dropped zone. (weak...I know)
At this point I am just trying to copycat other farmers until I get the basics down. This is so far from my 'soil knowledge' its ridiculous.
I will be trying zone next round.
DS...why did you drop zone?

I use tap water, h2o2, and clonex in my aerocloner and I have never had an issue and always root 100%. I run several UC systems, no use in flaming anyone that doesn't have experience with them. Because clearly everything different is worse then what you know.
Anyways on the UC side of things. I go from the Aerocloner to a UC, and I also go from Aeroclone to a Table. When going to the UC I make sure that my system has basically h2o2, H&G AB, CalMag, Zone, and Silica Blast. 350ppm is usually my target until the plants settle in. The biggest thing with UC is do not over complicate the nutes you add and keep the PPMs low until they start metabolizing, once that happens bump PPMs as needed like you would with any system.
