If your only going to use a 100watt light you can get away with a 1 gallon bucket instead.
Quote: With that being said I was going to use a straight perlite substrate. Is that going to be ok? Perlite should not affect my PH right?
I'd go with a perlite, vermiculite mix.
Keep the ph around 6.5
Quote: Can I use aquarium PH control solutions?
Yes

What can I buy or make for nutes? I don't have a hydroponics store local and really don't want to order anything in.
That I can't answer. I'm not familiar with hardware store fertilizers other then the fact that you couldn't pay me to use them in my garden esp with a hydro set up.

Quote: I have already built a 5gal bucket system. Do you think it would support two plants in the one 8" net pot?
Depends on the size of the plants. From what you have posted so far I think it would work for your needs.

as far as the verm perlite mix; i have read anything between 3-1 to 5-1 perlite to vermiculite. what do you recommend?
Myself I had good luck with a 50/50 mix. You may want to put up a post in the main cultivation forum on what ratio people have used with perlite and verm. I haven't done to much growing with it and like I said I had good luck with a 50/50 mix.
Quote: If you do not suggest hardware store fertilizer do you think floranova grow & bloom would be good for a beginner? I see I can get a pint of both on amazon for $30 total.
Yeah it's not bad but if you can get Pure Blend Pro that would be better cause if you use to much it won't burn the plants.
