This is exactly what happened to me in my last run and I thought the same as you that its eating equal so its good. Does anyone have info on this?
Yeah, that's the only real issue I see. But you have to figure, those LeDs will last a long long time, like 3-5 years at something like 75% efficiency? Don't qoute me on that btw...and now how often do you have to replace that bulb? 3x? 4x? At idk, I always estimate low, so 45$ a bulb, that's at least 120+ initial investment of 75$ For the light is cutting into that financing/profit plan a good little chunk there, then you factor smaller/lower fan necesity, lower AC costs, AND it pulls 1 GPW+ at a lower wattage CONSISTANTLY? LED to me eliminates the lighting factor/variable in experiments because it is so efficient and lasts so long at that same efficiemcy
Alot of "big," growers disdain even looking into small spaces, but if you learn on a small scale and can max that out, as you move up in space, logically you will be consistant with your growing abilities/numbers...if you start in a big space and never learn how to max it, then logically as you move up in space you become progressively worse. Just some food for thought
well if it was up to me Id just grow outdoors under the SUN ya know what I mean. It really sucks a whole lot.
this is just a few pix from over the passed 4-5 years.
I used to grow outdoors with little to no care and got great results. like these ladies and then some. but living in a non legal state and the smell of the finishing flowers makes outdoor gardening not possible any more.

Want bigger and beefier buds? Get yourself a HID! A 200w LED light just isn't going to give you huge buds. As soon as you can scrounge up the cash, get an HPS light.
Are you using the FloraMicro, or are you using their stand alone Floranova bloom?
Don't add molasses to your DWC.. it'll be a mess. I'd drop the CalMag too, it isn't needed.
I'd just try to get through this one and take what ya can get. Then, ditch the LED.. get an HID (say even a 400w unit), use Floranova Bloom ~8mL start to finish once under HID light. Keep rez temp 68F and let pH move between a range of 5.2 to 6.2, topping up with plain RO water as the plant depletes the rez. Dump/refresh once you rise to 6.2 pH with a fresh batch of nutes...starting over again with pH in the lower 5s and letting it drift up over the course of the week.
The same can be done with MaxiBloom at 7g/Gal
or the original Flora Series - Micro 8mL/Gal & Bloom 16mL/Gal
Your aim is around 1.8EC in hydro under HID lighting.
*these methods typically work best with RO water, but have worked well in lower EC tap for others.

I hope this helps.
