Nutrients- GH flora nova is the easist(comes in a 2 part form) and works great.

My #1 choice is GH flora series 3 part. Micro Grow and Bloom or Advanced Nutrients 3 part Micro Grow and Bloom. They are both the same thing IMO but I get the GH cheaper here.

You can get a TDS/EC meter to keep track of your nutrient levels. I insist on these but some just use the schedule. You can buy this first(before nutrients) and test your tap water to see how good/bad it is.

A ph meter is a must. You will need some GH up and down because its formed for plants(not vinager! lol)
Here is the proper levels for ppm and ph
Indica's
Seedlings and clones 300-400ppm 5.3-5.5 ph
early vegg 500-600ppm 5.3-5.6 ph
middle vegg 600-800ppm 5.4-5.6 ph
late vegg 800-1000ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
early flower 1000-1300ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
middle flower 1400-1600ppm 5.5-5.8 ph
late flower 1000-1100ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
ripening 300-500ppm 5.4-5.6 ph

sativa's
seedlings and clones 250-350ppm 5.3-5.5 ph
early vegg 300-500ppm 5.3-5.6 ph
middle vegg 500-700ppm 5.4-5.6 ph
late vegg 700-900ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
early flower 1000-1100ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
middle flower 1100-1300ppm 5.5-5.8 ph
late flower 800-1000ppm 5.5-5.7 ph
ripening 300-500ppm 5.4-5.6 ph

As far as the drip goes..I'm sure someone on here will give you good info on them. I have used them but just for veg. I like dwc myself. The nutrient levels and ph dont change from system to system.

BTW temps are a big problem so you will need a good fan(400 cfm+) especially w/ a 600 watt.
