1000w is a large chunk of overkill unless you've got shitloads of clones.
I'd start 'em at about 3-4 feet from tops, but check that it's not too hot, and that the soil doesn't dry too quickly.
Do you use a cool-tube?

If you have a ph pen, nutes first then adjust the ph.
If using an aquarium test kit, adjust to 6.8 or so, then add nutes. (nutes generally bring down the ph further)

I'm not going to stop you, or even argue with you. I would likely sit back and see how it works. I think you have me sorely mistaken with someone I'm not.
This disagreement started when you tried to spread bullshit about a product you've never had any experience with, yet even lacking any experience...you are totally willing to share your inexperience and continue the folklore.

You've got a strange way of twisting this disagreement around. Where did I say that your ability to use MG is in any way connected to your aptitude? I didn't. However, your experience level can and will get you through virtually any growroom situation, including the ability to see a plant's condition, and reactions...and adjust from there. This ability does not stop at the Miracle Grow bag.

You can be the smartest egg in the crate, but as I have stated plenty of times before...bullshit is bullshit. It doesn't matter how smart you are. But it does matter that you seem to be willing to take shortcuts and parrot bullshit with something as simple as answering a question about soil...

Doesn't it suck making such a mess out of answering a newbies post? Perhaps next time you'll post about something you actually have first-hand knowlege or experience with.

Have a good day. :thumbsup:
