HYDRO 3rd Grow in Hydro

[Drekthar]

Started my 3rd grow.
Going to try Photos after 2 fairly successful grows of auto flowering plants.
Growing 6 plants - 1 x Red Dragon, 1 x Laughing Buddha, 1 x Velvet Bud, 1 x Gorilla Glue #4, and 2 x Northern Soul.
6 x 5 gallon buckets with top drip
GH flora trio nutes with Calimag and Hydroguard
2 Viparspect 450w LED lights

Seedlings moved into the Buckets on December 1st.
All plants topped January 2nd above the 3rd node.
All plants tied down by January 5th

A few pictures from today of the ladies...

The space is a little tight but I intend to put cut down tomato cage around them ~ 1' high to help keep them all in order given the space available.

The 2 northern soul we're actually started about 1 week after the 1st 4 plants. 1 of them has caught right up but the middle left one is lagging a bit behind, i'm sure it will catch up to the others b4 to long.

I broke one of the stems on the gorilla glue plant from the first node on one side after topping so i had to use 1 stem on the 2nd node to keep my eight stems. it is twisting the stem a bit to get the shape but i expect it should be OK once the plant develops a bit more.

Anyone care to offer an opinion on when I should be switching them over to 12/12? As you can see its a bit of a closet grow and I should likely have grown a few less plants.
The lights are both 450 w led anyone have thoughts on whether they are strong enuf to produce a decent amount of bud.

Not sure about the lights I grow with hps. But as far as when you should flip, since you already feel that you should have grown less plants in your space then you should flip now because they’re only going to double and I’ve heard some even triple in size once they’re in flower..

Flipped the plants on Feb 12th. Pic on Feb 16th
