so I setup a deep water culture system this weekend with 5 white widow seeds i got from nirvana. I made a room about 2.5ft deep and about 12ft long. Got 5 buckets, filled them a third of the way up and got some airstones. For lights I have 4 cfl ballasts with 8 38 watt 6500k lights (22,000 lumens total), 2 100 watt hps (19,000 watts), 1 76 watt grow LED ( lumens ??). I have a few questions thought that i'm not quite sure on....

a.) do I have enough lumens? My room is about 30 sqft and I have 41,000+ lumens right now.

b.) I've only filled the buckets 1/3 of the way up. When the root hits the water, will it just wick up? How much do I need to fill them up?

the second to the last pic is the LED light and the last pic is just the LEDon. light
