    Look ok to me but I’m just a novice, I would say water temp is to high, you want to keep it around 18/19 degrees C.

    Not sure on your aquarium pumps, I know I had a 30lpm pump and it needed a bigger one, but my pots were big and so were the ladies in them so that might not helped.

    Your plants are looking good! Your feed level is just about perfect, I always like to be around that number anyway. I'm surprised your roots look so nice and white with as high as your temperatures are getting in your reservoirs, you need to find a way to get those down, you could freeze some 1 ltr bottles of water and trade them out in your reservoirs every so many hours. A dozen of those in the freezer would get you through the grow just fine.

    I'd stay on the feed schedule you have and you're going to be looking good for that.

    I don't know hope you're doing it with that low amount of air per plant, or how you've got one growing without air? So I'm just going to say keep up the good work!

    the one that i said is growing without air is just Kratky method...

    if a plant can grow this way ANY air pump ALL air pump will do the jobs because some bubble are better then nones

    Everything looks good to me man. I don't know celcius, but you do want your res temp around 70°F optimally. If you use hydroguard you don't have to worry about the temp as much. My buckets have gotten up to 80°F with no issues.
    Here's the link to my grow. Maybe it will help.
