Hi Xquisit85,
She seems to be doin pretty good now, and sounds like yer gettin some good help!
One thing you can do if ya want with those 5 gallon Buckets, if you don't really have a lot of dough for new stuff, is just drill a crap ton of holes in em. You do have to have a drill and bit for that, but it does work pretty good, and I've done fine with it before. The fabric pots, like somebody said, are really awesome though, Cannabis craves oxygen for it's roots, and growing in Coco Coir, like it looks you are, really works good with all that aeration. Drilling holes in a pot with pot in it, is pretty sketch though. I do it sometimes, but I run power tools a ton and am not always the brightest with my own stuff!!
You can use Baking Soda as a PH up, and Vinegar as a PH down if you want. I have used a PH test kit kinda like what a pool might use, and they work good to check all the water and Nutrients you give the plant, then you can adjust accordingly. I grow in soil with lots of earthworms and organic material now though, so I don't have to really worry about PH with that method.
BTW, what kind of light ya got goin?
Also make sure to check all the tutorials up top about the subjects you have questions on, lot's of great info.
Good luck with your first grow!!

I'll defer to whatever these folks say on the light, since I grow mostly with natural light, just wanted to make sure they wern't incandescent or something.
If you do choose drilling extra holes, you have to be SUPER careful if a plant is in it, you don't want to mangle roots, keep in mind you could do more harm then good. I have done it when the leaves are still back from the edge of the pot a few inches( tends to mean that the roots are to) and then I drill in only just enough to make a hole( crap, I said a hole).

Also be sure to read up on plant training, that grow area is not real big, and the plant may grow a lot during the first couple weeks of flowering, what they call the flowering " stretch".
Of course you could always move her into a bit bigger grow area if you had to.

Hey 85, that's all we ever use outdoors is 5gallon buckets or larger. You can grow some monsters in 5gallon buckets,

Got to water kinda slow. Might be different with different grow media as well, all my stuff is in soil.

You will be fine with that lighting just dont exspect a great yield. With those led bulbs also if you havent already, peel the plastic top globe off for better brightness and penetration of the canopy. Now as for lumans (lux) isnt the most important thing to measure when talking about lights par or umol is your best way to figure out if you have enough light to grow good strong fruutful plants. This shall all be learned within your first grows so take your time and read up on your 1st grow you next grow you will be training and feeding with no questions 3rd grow youll have plants like your seeing on the site guarenteed with nebula hazes tutorials!
