Great to have you here! I have done a hydro grow or two lol, in my humble opinion you need more air and more light, that is assuming you are saying you have 40 LPM between the four buckets if that is the case then disregard. I recommend 50 LPM diffused by the 8 in discs in each 5 gallon site. to grow roots like this

also I would add a second mars hydro 300 if that is your preffered light, that will give em what they need air and light wise to fill your tent all the way up happy growing and if you have any questions just tag me and I will hop on over and help if possible. @IndicaIVoz is also a pro who can help

No, the 4 net pots are in one 5 gal res. I've been thinking of adding another light just not sure yet. I definitely appreciate the information though. As you and @IndicalVoz have been a very important part of my research up this point great to have you here.

Gotcha, I haven't really thought about it too much about multiple plants in a single rez but I would say more air if possible, I would say that they will ultimately always respond and grow better with more air. Also another light will be helpful to getting the most out of growing in DWC. So I would say get at least another 40lpm and if you can another 60, diffused with a regular large airstone

or you can T off of the 8 in disc and run multiple lines into it
