I've been stalking this forum for a while now and I've learned TONS of cool stuff for people like me. Im planning my first grow(indoor) in the very near future and just need a lil more info on what i need to have the best possible outcome. I just bought some Fem Snow White seeds from nirvana (girlfriends choice) and some Fafards seedling starter mix.
My landlord left behind a 600w digital ballast along with a cool tube, couple HPS bulbs, and a few 6" inline fans. I have some miracle grow(feeds up to 6 months) but not really sure if I should use it.
I read somewhere on here to stay away from fertilized soil.
Now for the problems Im having.

The glass on the cool tube is broken. Not completely shattered but theres a decent crack with a hole the size of a half dollar. Its still functional but i was wondering if its still safe to use.

Next, Can i use hps bulbs for the whole grow? i really want to use mh but as far as i can tell 600w mh bulbs dont exist, and the conversion bulbs are waaaaay outta my budget.

Lastly(for now, lol), I dont really understand feeding. would it be possible for someone to just give me an example of a feeding schedule i could follow? and what in the hell im supposed to feed them?(brand, type, etc.)

I appreciate any help! really dont wanna f#@k up my first grow!!

Thanks
