Hey what's up FarmerBG! I'm on my first grow also and using T5 (4'x8 bulb) light for veg. Are the clones rooted? I just pulled rotted clones out of the cloner today and put them into 1 gallon smart pots (with the appropriate clear plastic pot holder to go underneath). I'm using Fox Farms soil and PH'ed tap water (you can buy a PH tester at the hydro store for 10 bucks, buy PH UP and Down also). As far as a watering schedule goes I water one day, until I see it start to form in the clear pot holder underneath, then take 2 days off and do it again. Try that for a couple of weeks then start adding a little nutrients to the water. I use Dyna-Gro "Grow" 7-9-5. They have a chart on their website for dosage. I think the first couple of times feeding I used a 1/4 tsp. Dyna-Gro is a great nutrient and can take you all the way to harvest 
Make sure the rest of the environment is squared away also so you have easy sailing; Temperatures, Airflow, Clean. I run my lights 24/7 but the time is preference. After 4-5 weeks you can transfer the 1 gallon into whatever or flower.
I'm just barely starting out also, on day 38. Good luck with your grow, do a lot of reading and welcome

Top water as needed, I wouldn't feed them anything for 3-4 weeks if you are in FFOF, I use FF trio, start at 1/2 strength and go from there. If you check out Fox Farm web site they have a feeding schedule that can be used as a general guide for feeding. Good Luck.
I don't believe the clones are rooted yet if they are it's a light root structure so watering is done through the soil or do clones with no roots feed through top leafs? The clones are still in solo cups have not transplanted yet.And im leaning towards the foxfarm trio but not sure yet I'm still in construction on my flower room making sure it's sealed and have good ventilation should be gettn my 1000w HPS setup next week so I can start to run duct for vent and make sure my temps are good before I go to 12-12 please anyone with any tips I'm open to them I guess my biggest question of now is clone related because that's what I'm starting with now
