I am using Miracle Grow Potting Mix from Home Depot, my lighting is a Procyon 100, I have a Vortex 4" fan pulling air from the basement/house thru grow closet to the attic. I do intend to add supplemental (3) 23watt 2700K CFL on top of the Procyon 100 when the last couple of months of flowering has started, but for now, they are off. Thanks
Don't give nutes until after the first month. Sometimes you may not need to give them anything for awhile as they will thrive off what's in the soil first. Also, when you do add nutes for the first time, give them 1/4 to 1/2, but I'd go with 1/4 just to be on the safe side. Also, you can give any type of nutrients you want, but you just have to use it right and flush, flush, flush when needed (specially before harvest). I'm sorry I can't really tell you a specific brand, as I used MG ferts (the all purpose/bloom booster BS) and had pretty good results (my silver haze log in my sig.). It's really what best works with you, if you try different ones you may find one you love, but most people will probably recommend Fox Farm Trio.
