For now its either Mars Hydro or spending alittle more and getting something from Horticulture Lighting Group.
First timer, getting started. Do I really need all this stuff?

I looked for a long time myself for an inexpensive light. I mean to the point of blurry eyes and staying up way too late sitting in bed reading all I could , lol. People have talked smack about the MarsHydro lights, but I sure see a lot of people using them, and with good results. Maybe Their older stuff? Their new SP line looks good, and the less expensive TS line all would be a good enrty level lights (IMO and what I've seen on line). Like many they are going towards the Q Boards, like HLG. If you look you can find the equivalent to the HLG for much less. And quite a bit less ordering from overseas .
Of course there are better lights, but you set a budget( basically same budget that I set for myself), and not looking to fill a room up. I think you'll be just fine. I'll be watching the progress, good luck!

Are 3 gallon fabric pots enough? or should I get the 5 gallons?
I'm having great results with the TS1000. Blue Dream Auto by Humboldt Seeds is my only seed to jar example so far. Just shy of 4oz in 3gal fabric, which I think is big enough.
For lighting I'm now leaning towards the qb boards from Alibaba/KingBrite.
Its hard to ignore the price difference.

Don’t waste your $$ on HLG! You can get same light from same area in China their stuff is made for $200 or so with shipping! Thru HLG you would spend almost $600 and have to have a limited electrical knowledge to run it in parallel or series depending on the driver! Mine was $210 for double board and shipping to Tx

Oh and if you didn’t know your payment is secured through that app so if it doesn’t arrive on time or isn’t right at all they refund &$ guaranteed
So for a full cycle of nutrients (coco medium), all I need is General Hydroponics Flora Grow, Bloom and Micro, also Botanicare Cal-Mag?
That plus the ph up and down are the only nutrients/water additives I am ordering.
Is this all I need for a full cycle? should I add more nutrients for when flowering starts?
