Is 2 HPS lights enough?

Greetings And Salutations From Oregon.
This is my 3rd.medical mary grow.
I just put 6 25in. Chem Dog clones into the 12/12 cycle.I have them in 2 three plant pods under 1000w HPS bulbs,they are all the same bushy size because I kept bending the main stem,I used Sunshine #4 soil in 3GL pots this time and am wondering if 1TSP of Dutch Master Sunshine A and 1TSP of B and 2TSP of Liquid Karma per gallon at 5.5PH every watering is overkill.The clones thrived on the 2TSP per gallon every watering of Liquid Karma under fluorescent T5 high outputs,I'm talking maybe 4 weeks from clone to a 25in.bush.Any advice would be appreciated.
PS or BS...Bought 10 G13 seeds from cannabisseeds.com and on my first try,they grew fantastically,but they had no fucking buds and what buds I got were air!I mean this was some wild ass weed but a total waste of time.Still can't figure out what the fuck they sold me.Tore them out and tossed them in the backyard and they rooted,I am now literally mowing grass!BEWARE!!!!!

I don't use any of those products, but I can tell you if you are growing in soil that your water may be too acidic. Again, I don't grow in soil... but from what I hear/maybe know, you want your pH around 6.5-7. Its only when your growing hydroponically that you want a lower pH... even then, 5.8 is generally the lowest you want to go. As far as watts, I grow 6 plants comfortably under 600 watts. I don't understand if you are saying you have 2 1000w hps bulbs? 1000 watts is more than plenty for 6 plants. 2000 would be extreme overkill. Perhaps someone will come on here and call me an idiot and give you some more useful information. welcome to RIU.
