Welcome to the site! :)
You can use several kinds of nutrient products, with the best results coming from ones that are more "cannabis-friendly", such as Canna, Fox Farms, Advanced Nutrients, General Hydroponics, and many more. They can be purchased online or at a hydro shop. Each company has usually two or three different bottles that you will, and instructions for mixing them into water with weekly dosages on their websites. It's usually a good idea to give plain ph'd water every once in a while, maybe every third watering. One thing to keep in mind, is that each plant from seed may have different needs in terms of watering and nutrient uptake.
There is a lot of info here, especially in the grow logs and other threads about nutrients. The search function is OK, but even better is to use google and type in: cannabis nutrients site:boards.cannabis.com
This guide is also very helpful: Grow Guide (http://cannabis.com/growing/index.html) Crtl + F and type in nutrients.
What kind of lighting setup were you planning on?
Happy growing :jointsmile:

one thing i recomend is doin alot of research before starting. i did not and my flowers showed it. another thing is if you use fox farm nutrient use fox farm soil. if you use canna nutes use canna soil. and so on. alot of these companies formulate their soil to work with their nutes
welcome to the site by the way lol. i have learned alot about mary jane from this site. i recomend also getting jorge cervantas bible. that book is loaded with a welth of knowledge.

good advice from Mr. Bigtopps...follow his directions and you will have all the info you want....then ask questions about what you don't understand and you will get more info and get Jorge's book just as jbrand mentioned.
