600 W Setup. My first time. How do I look?

So I have a Sunleaves 6" air cooled hood, Nextgen 600w digital ballast, Hortilux HPS bulb. 3 walls are lined with mylar from the top of my light line down (with the light at it's highest setting) and the entrance wall has black/white viskween. The dimensions of the room are 56"x72"x98" (in feet that's 4.5x6x7.5). I have 2 black 5 gal. bucket DWC (2 air stones in each) with 12 inch nets, 2 general hydroponic 5 gal drip ring ( Power Grower Eco), 4" inline duct fan. Haier 15000 btu window a/c. And a green light bulb in the closet. This is my first time designing and building one of these, did I cover all the bases? I'm on day 38 of flower running advanced nutrients: Connoisseur A&B, Bud Candy and Hygrozyme. Humidity is about 50% and day time temps are 72 below and 76-78 above the canopy. Night time temp is between 66-70.

Looking good. dont forget to be thorough with everything you do. And dont make decisions and try to reverse them. and dont over water and over fertilize it. And use a Loupe when your plants are a couple weeks from harvest so you can spot spider mites before they take over. And dont put wet buds into a mason jar. wait until they're thoroughly dry. I included a couple of my own road bumps in there. But hey good luck.

Looking real good.

only thing I can see being a problem would be your air conditioner on the floor..

I mean it's gonna get your carpet soaked.. put it on a tupperware lid so that the water atleast doesn't ruin your carpet.

Start a grow journal..

Peace and Happy Growing

the A/C unit doesn't run the compressor at all just the fan, so no condensation. It's basically running like a squirrel cage blower I paid $135 for the 4" inline w/ filter but I hate to pay that much for another one (cheap alternative that moves mad air http://www.lowes.com/ProductDisplay?partNumber=153139-1621-4914&langId=-1&storeId=10151&productId=3096129&catalogId=10051&cmRelshp=sim&rel=nofollow&cId=PDIO1 ) It's in a spare bedroom that stays dark and about 68 degrees with a window that's always open. I hope to turn the spare room into my flower room and the room I have now to be a veg room but we'll see how I do on my first attempt and based off of how well I do I'll increase the size of my op.
I'll start a journal on my next round. I have 2 clones that are just rooting. More Razz Matazz and an awesome variety of OG Kush (I plan to cross them) from the master grower at my local dispensary. BTW how do I start a journal? Here are the ladies occupying my flower room. They stand at 54"-56" tall now and are at day 39 of flower and the pics are from a couple days ago.

Seems well thought out.

Night temps are little low. 5 degree max variance is ideal with 72 being the low. When summer comes back, you'll probably need a bigger fan/filter setup.

Plants look great. Should be real tasty in about a month.

90 grams cured. from 2 plants that were only 42 and 46 Inches tall at harvest. I was over watering with the drip rings. Lesson learned to get more weight but they still taste and smoke great. It was 28 F at the time of harvest so I put them on the balcony for and hour first then chopped them down.
