1. I am so sorry. There I go again confusing the hell out of people. I guess I just felt like I was on a roll, spitting out all those abbreviations, then that line from the movie "Good Morning Vietnam" suddenly popped into my head and I just kept writing.

SOG - Sea Of Green
SCROG - SCreen Of Green
x2, x3, x6 - Two each, three each, six each
W - Watt
MH - Metal Halide
HPS - High Pressure Sodium
CFL - Compact Fluorescent Lighting
DIY - Do It Yourself
DWC - Deep Water Culture
VP - Vice President
VIP - Very Important Person
QT - Quiet Time
MIA - Missing In Action
KP - Kitchen Patrol

Except for the dumb ones, these and many more can be found in this sticky:

I highly recommend those unfamiliar with the lingo take a look.

2. That should do the trick. I like the way you can expand it to suit your needs and available space, and it can have a footprint that is an irregular shape. With that system you can have a lot of "roots in air" time, which is really good. Keep in mind that you need to be able to move either the plants or the lights if you do SOG. Also don't forget that the flowering section will need to be light-proof, or at least away from the veg sections' lighting schedule. I think it's fairly easy to unfasten those buckets and move them. I think you could raise the pump a couple inches, then drain the lines by undoing the last one in each line.

3. I think 2 gallon pots are perfect for what you are trying to do. Unless you are going to veg for an abnormally long time (you usually do just the opposite in SOG), the buckets will provide plenty of room for the roots of 1 plant.
