My 1st grow, using hempy buckets

This is my 1st grow and I decided to do it as good as I could, no converting cupboards as I live in a 1 bed flat so no room. This is my set up
1.2x1.2x2.0 grow tent
1 x 600w Maxibright ballast, Sunmaster Dual Spectrum Lamp and euro reflector)
1 x 200w cfl vegetation light (im using a friends light but I just ordered a 300w blue spectrum with reflector)
1 x 5" Vents*TT inline extract fan
1 x 5" carbon filter
1 x 2ft tube heater
1 x 5L humidifier (awaiting delivery)

I am growing hempy style, perlite in buckets, with holes 2 inches from the bottom for drainage. I am putting nutes in PH water then the next day I'm just using PH water to top up. I then drain off the next day and start again.
I am currently at 4w 4d on vegging, soon going into flowering

A quick note, attitude seeds are having a birthday give away, spend £30 and get a load of seeds free! I wasn't planning ongetting any seeds, just clone the ones I have but I couldn't help myself
I think the 1st ones to go in will be the PE and a darkstar if anyone has grown any of these before and knows how good they are please tell me, I've not even head of most of these but they all look good!

Let the grow commence

Here you go, here is a selection of my plants, from day 1 all the way through. Feel free to comment as I would like to know what you all think

Any helpers out there? I have a problem I didn't put enough perlite in some of my buckets and they are a bit low. This means some of the lower leaves, mainly the ones with 3 tips but some of the 5 tipped ones as well are not getting any light and are looking a bit screwed. Do I just leave them or should I get rid of them? Any help is much appreciated

They should grow on up and that shouldn't be an issue . Epsom salts will work for your def . Another product that has other benefits you could try is Dyna Gro Mag Pro . It supplements calcium ,magnesium and sulfer .

I need some of that, my R/O is sucking the cal/mag out of my soil.\

The Pictures from throughout it's lifetime are all scrambled, I wish the RIU upload system would organize what your uploading in the order it was intended, BUT, on the other hand, it is allowing for the upload of hundreds of thousands of pictures of all sizes to be uploaded onto it's server. And these pics stay around for quite awhile from what I can tell.

Nice grow man, but my questions to you is this, what are hempy buckets?

Sorry for the late response, I wouldn't recommend cutting any leaves off, even if they aren't getting much light. They still have a lot of energy in them, a lot of nutrients. If the plant was getting NOTHING from then, it would suck out the nutrients and kill them. Keep it up man, and UPDATE. it's been almost 20 days without!

AND, I also wanted to stop in an say HAPPY 420 EYEBROWS!!!!! I hope you have a WONDERFUL smoke filled day! AND, if you have time in between puffs, check out my 420 thread, and vote on what device you'll be smoking out of this 420!!
