Jack herer, bobo, and el niño in hempy buckets

[Raisin Jackson]

This will be my first attempt at hydro and I'm going with simple.
I am trying for 16 plants, mostly bobo strain. If they get too big I'll switch to 9, I have a 600 watt hps but will start with cfls. I have the clones all just about ready plus a few coming from a buddy. I will be adding clones to buckets as I can. I'm new here and will have to see how to post pics. I'm smoking a strain called golden death, I can't wait to be smoking my stuff, I'm an experienced dirt farmer, used to top quality buds, just had a little bump in the road with my old grow.. So now I'm starting over, hope to get these going so after 10-14 days of veg I can start budding. I am still mostly at the rinsing and prepping phase- is there an easy way to rinse perlite?

In a few months it'll be jack herer by day, bobo by night ,and life will be oh so nice again..

I have 20 gallons of 3:1 perlite:vermiculite
I'll be trying the Lucas formula for my gh nutes
I'm gonna soak the mix in half strength nutes before I toss it in the buckets and throw in some ladies. I have 4 clones from a buddy, don't know strains but a couple look like jack. I have 6 kinda old and ugly clones with alot of roots that are a mix of my 3- jack, bobo, el niño. The best clones will go in last and I'm giving them another day or 2. I will get some pics and post them, thanks for the link, you saved me time for gardening, we can all appreciate that.
I think I'll get 16, I gotta get some more buckets though. I will probably only veg 10-14 days.

4 clones from buddy
6 clones pulled from an ebb and flow (not looking too good)
I wanna see if they can bounce back (bad ph, some brownish roots)
These are what's in the buckets. I'll put in my best clones in the next couple days (I need perlite and buckets)
There will be six there I hope. Still getting the room finished so pics when my ***** not scattered all around the place. I'm just so excited to be growing again!!

heres the first ten in hempys
theres some jack herer, bobo, el nino, and probably a couple others
the room still needs some reflective stuff over all that black
its a pond liner so i dont have to worry about the constant dribbles

I have 2x 5 bulb cfl, total of 325 watts, 6x 42 watt brite, 4x soft
That's not enough but it'll do for now
I will continue to feed 1/2 strength Lucas
2.5ml micro/ 5ml bloom per gallon
Probably every other day for a week or two.
Should go every third day about the same time they start getting full strength.
Hope to start flowering on about the 5th, ten days veg for the youngest, 12 for the ones already planted.

I will be using a Procyon when I get it next week. Probably late next week, so I'll have that in the middle of my 5 bulb cfl lights. I also have a small led panel that I'll stick in there as well.
