Indoor 4 Strains 1000W Seed-Harvest

[AlaskaGrown.Anch]

Hi, welcome to my first grow log started on 11/8/2016. I have successfully harvested several auto-flowers indoors and out here in Alaska, but this is my first "serious" grow. I'd appreciate any tips or pointers, Thanks!

Seeds
Dutch Passion Auto Mazar - 6
Dinafem White Widor Auto - 1
Royal Queen Seeds Royal Haze Auto - 2
Delicious Seeds Northern Lights Blue Auto - 1

Lights
600W HPS with adjustable ballast
400W HPS Cool tube
324W 48" T5 Tek light (Will only use on new vegging plants)

Soil and Pots
Promix BX, Perlite, Vermiculite, Blood Meal, and some crushed up eggshells for the hell of it.
I'm using 5 gallon buckets with about 12 drainage holes drilled in the bottom. (I've seen people grow in the blue Lowes buckets, so I figured the orange Home depot buckets wouldn't be so bad right??)

Nutrients and Water
Haven't bought any Nutrients yet. Will do around week 3. Ill be collecting and melting snow from outside for water.

Grow Room and Ventilation
I basically just turned a spare room into my grow room, appox. 8 ft x 8 ft. Its a bit large for my lights and there's a lot of areas that are not getting direct light. I did however wrap the room in mylar, and made a little doorway made from that black/white reflective plastic material.

SO first question!? How many plants should I start at once!?? I think I could fit all 10 under the 1000watts but Ive heard, that if you have less plants, they will produce more. So should I only start 6, then start the other 4 under my T5 around halfway through? Ive heard the Mazar gets fairly large, as well as the White Widow, not sure about the NLB and Royal Haze. Pics of room coming soon

Seed arrived today! Currently in the germination process. I've decided to start out with 4 auto mazar, 2 royal haze, the white widow, and NLB

It all depends on your grow room. You didn't tell us what you are using. But you can fit almost 12 plants in 1 square meter. This is tight for 12 plants but it grows well. The plant is going to adapt on any space you've got. Now the more space you have for a plant, the more youll get from 1 plant... It's all about training.

All of the seeds popped within 18 hours, and I planted them yesterday 11/14/16. Unfortunately the White Widow from Dinafem had some issues in the germination process. It almost looks like the seed didn't open enough, and the growth of the taproot forced itself to break in half )= I still planted it but I doubt she will sprout. The Royal Haze have already popped out of the soil, and seem to be growing much faster than any of the others. I currently have my 600W at 50% and is about 36 inches away from soil. 400W is on full blast, about 36 inches from soil.

Quick picture I took of the grow room and another of an AutoMazar. All but one of the plants seem to be growing at a quick rate. All about to shoot out the second set of leaves.
