Till now the lights were 24hours. Now changed to 18/6You flipped to 12/12? I think whats best is if you slow down. I understand being eager to get things going but you're sabatoging yourself. You dont want to flip unhealthy plants.
I agree on the feed but i have to disagree on leaving them in those 5 gal buckets. Small plants in 5 gal of coco doesnt make sense. Especially with low wattage lights and a smaller space.

Pots are a bit big for the plants at the moment, they won't die because they are in a big pot, plenty of room to spread out, just means the OP won't have as tight a root ball as he would have had growing in staged pots.

Keep going steady with what your doing, don't change a thing, and in a week you should see the shoots growing from the stem, the leaves you have already are not going to green up much, if at all, but the new leaves will be a sign that you are on the right road, just be patient and you'll be amazed by the results.

Once they settle down, you have to get them feeding first, or the can't produce chlorophyll, which is what makes your leaves green, this is food, not the nuits, so a month from now and you should have trees. a couple of weeks to get them going, and a couple of weeks growth, I know a month seems a long time, but it will fly past, trust me. :)

If your just growing percy, then I favour a 5ft long, 3ft deep, your 4ft would be better for spread, I like my plants to go up and not out, and floor to ceiling high, 7ft is good. Thing to remember is the heat and the lights footprint, and power of your lights.

This is what I'm doing at the minute, helping out a friend, the flower space is 5ft long, 3 deep, and floor to ceiling high. https://www.thcfarmer.com/community/threads/small-grow-for-nubies.92631/

I just want to give you the best advice i can @Boomshankar . I think you do well @chemistry so i dont want to be argumentative with you but i cant agree with some of the things your suggesting for his setup. He has smaller low wattage led lights so tall plants would be counterproductive. He needs short squat plants so the light can penetrate the canopy easier. Coco in bigger pots is also counter productive. You want to water to runoff in coco and that would take quite a bit more nutes to do so in large pots . Keep im mind that coco a soiless mix and has no real nutrient value if its own. Thats why you need to feed nutes every watering @Boomshankar . You can add a the seaweed to your feed on occaision but its not a stand alone food for coco. Im still learning as i go but the most important thing i learned is to keep it simple. Good light, good feed, good watering practices and good training. Period. All the other stuff is supplimental as you learn what you are doing to optimize your grow.

Yep, I understand how coco works, my only concern is more root damage when the plants are already weak, so it's a trade off between moving down size, or going with what the OP has already working, the plants won't need a lot of nuits at their size and colour, but in a weeks time they should be getting on. No argument dude, discussion, it's only a forum.

No doubt, just making sure you knew the respect was there. I know things can get misinterpreted in text easily. I agree about the roots but things turn around fast in coco. I just see that hes already not watering enough volume per watering and that means lots of dry coco. I think in the smaller pots he'll be able to keep them happier in the long run. Especially if he can get some beneficial bacteria going in the root zone.Yep, I understand how coco works, my only concern is more root damage when the plants are already weak, so it's a trade off between moving down size, or going with what the OP has already working, the plants won't need a lot of nuits at their size and colour, but in a weeks time they should be getting on.
