Welcome to AFN! hb5, you are in good company here! I would look at promix hp with led and promix bx for hid lighting. As for ferts, that is a great question and also a very personal choice. There are a bunch of lines to choose from. If chem nutes are your thing, look at Advanced Nutrients, Mills Nutrients, the whole General Hydroponics line. Organics the way you want to go? GH has a good organic line too. Veganics, with no chems or animal poop, Vegamatrix is the stuff. Either way the plant doesnt care where the N P K comes from, just as long as it gets them, when they need it! Here is a thread that talks about a bunch of nute lines, Happy reading and welcome to THE best canna site on the web!

Welcome to the Family, HB5!
As always, Briman is on it!
Now, if good basic soil on the cheap is the goal, I'll add this:

I substitute Kelloggs Patio plus, with Jobes PW (it's what I have locally.
Another option for nutes is Rock (just google Rock nutes). I did a side by side with them and AN some time ago, and both did very well.
Make sure to add a pH pen and a bottle of CaMg to your wish list, and let's get cracking!!!

Hey...check out others grows for sure...so much to learn! I found foxfarm trio and bloom trio to be a solid fertilizer for photo plants but cant get it anymore in our country so I had to do a bunch of research on fertilizers and was basically informed that most known lines kick ass in the right hands. I ended up choosing advanced nutrients just due to some of the incredible grows I saw using this line of nutrients.
